Schumacher criticises Hamilton after Ferrari clash with Leclerc

Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher has commented on the intra-team dispute between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at Ferrari. The pair clashed on the opening lap of the Mexico City Grand Prix, with Leclerc taking the lead from Hamilton, who had started from pole position. Team Principal Fred Vasseur was also publicly unhappy with the incident, and the drivers held talks the following week in Sao Paulo.

Speaking on Sky Sports Germany, Schumacher said Hamilton is not fast enough compared to Leclerc and should be consistently ahead of his teammate. He said he had a problem with the drama that followed, particularly Hamilton's radio demand for a penalty for Leclerc and his subsequent comments about "big, big problems".

With three rounds remaining, Hamilton and Leclerc are being asked to work together to protect Ferrari's position against Red Bull and McLaren in the Constructors' Championship.
