Lewis Hamilton would ‘rather not’ say what he really thinks about Charles Leclerc after Mexico spat

Lewis Hamilton declined to address his clash with Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc during post-race television interviews following the Mexico City Grand Prix. Hamilton, who started on pole position, went wide at turn four alongside Leclerc, enabling Max Verstappen to take the race win. Leclerc received a five-second penalty for gaining the position off the track, while Hamilton finished second and Leclerc took fourth.

When asked to discuss the incident, Hamilton stated he would rather focus on celebrating Kimi Antonelli's world championship victory. Hamilton noted Ferrari easily had the pace for a one-two finish and urged the team to establish clearer rules of engagement. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur criticized both drivers, calling their on-track clash disrespectful to the team.
