Hamilton and Leclerc Clear the Air After Mexico City Clash

Lewis Hamilton says the friction with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc is over. Speaking after the two met in Brazil, Hamilton said they had "squashed" the incident from the Mexico City Grand Prix, a phrase that points to a settlement reached face to face rather than a dispute left to simmer.

The clash mattered because it involved two drivers in the same garage at one of Formula 1's most closely watched teams, where any sign of internal tension quickly becomes a story. By choosing to talk it through directly, the pair avoided letting the matter play out in the press.

The source material does not give a detailed account of what caused the incident or what was said during the meeting, so the specifics of the on-track moment are best checked in the Mexico City race coverage.

For Ferrari, a quick reset is the sensible result. The real test will come once both cars are back on track and the team needs its drivers pulling in the same direction.
