Ferrari holds meeting after Hamilton-Leclerc clash

–

Neutral summary

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur confirmed he held a meeting with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc after their first-lap clash at the Mexican Grand Prix. He said he reminded the drivers that the team must come first, and that “the message was clear.” Vasseur called on the pair to “work as professionals” and stressed he does not require them to be best friends, but they must respect each other and the brand. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who witnessed the Hamilton-Rosberg rivalry, backed his colleague and recalled his own experience. Vasseur acknowledged both drivers are highly competitive and described the situation as having positive and negative aspects. The meeting took place ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, where Ferrari seeks a reset after the costly incident. Outlets differ slightly in tone: some, like Terra and Sky Sports, emphasize Vasseur downplaying the friction, while others highlight his firm stance on team priorities.
