Hamilton wants Ferrari talks in Brazil after Mexico battle

Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he and Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc have not yet discussed their first-lap battle at the Mexico City Grand Prix, but face-to-face talks will take place ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Hamilton believes a potential team 1-2 finish was lost after going wheel-to-wheel with Leclerc on the opening lap, which resulted in a penalty for Leclerc and dropped Hamilton behind Max Verstappen. While team principal Fred Vasseur and Leclerc were in Europe following the birth of Leclerc's first child, Hamilton emphasized the importance of establishing rules of engagement to build a stronger foundation for Ferrari's future championship ambitions.
