Ferrari Boss Slams Teammates for Mexico GP Incident

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur criticized Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc for their behavior during the Mexico City Grand Prix, calling it a 'lack of respect' for the team and its supporters.

The incident occurred on the opening lap, where Leclerc overtook Hamilton but failed to complete the corner, leading to a penalty and allowing Max Verstappen to take the lead.

Hamilton finished second, while Leclerc ended up fourth after the race restarted following a red flag. Both drivers were reportedly upset with the outcome, with Hamilton suggesting 'serious talks' were needed in the Ferrari garage.

Vasseur expressed frustration over the lost opportunity, stating that Ferrari had been in first and second place going into the first corner. He emphasized the importance of representing the brand and the 2,000 people who work behind the scenes.

Vasseur confirmed plans to discuss the incident with both drivers and refocus on the upcoming Sao Paulo race, calling it the 'best thing that could happen' to the team.

Leclerc was penalized five seconds for his move, which ultimately contributed to Verstappen's victory, while Kimi Antonelli secured the title for Mercedes.
