Hamilton and Leclerc collision cost Ferrari Mexico City win as Verstappen takes victory

Max Verstappen won the Mexico City Grand Prix for Red Bull, with Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton second and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli third, a result that gave Antonelli the title as Formula 1's youngest world champion.

Hamilton said the fighting between Ferrari's two drivers, Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, on the opening lap had cost the team a likely one-two, and suggested the team needed serious talks behind closed doors. Team boss Frederic Vasseur said he was frustrated. Leclerc argued that racing for a win was the way it should be and that he did not think the incident deserved much attention.

The article examines the problem of two top drivers of equal status at one team, noting that the Ferrari drivers' competing priorities have caused issues earlier this year and that Vasseur has yet to manage it effectively.
