Vasseur details Hamilton and Leclerc meeting after Mexico clash

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has described the meeting between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc held after their fallout at the Mexico City Grand Prix. The two drivers clashed on lap 1, when Leclerc took the lead from Hamilton and then stayed ahead after running wide to avoid a significant collision. Leclerc received a five-second time penalty, and Hamilton finished behind race winner Max Verstappen.

Hamilton later said the pair had "squashed" the matter, adding that "everything's good" and that Vasseur had brought them together. Vasseur said the discussion on the Friday in Sao Paulo cleared the situation and reset their mindset, and that the drivers left his room joking together.

Focus now turns to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Hamilton and Leclerc need to work together to help Ferrari hold second place in the Constructors' Championship.
