Vasseur says Hamilton and Leclerc have resolved their differences

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has dismissed suggestions of ongoing friction between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, saying the pair settled their issues in a private discussion ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix.

Vasseur said the internal situation had come under scrutiny after the team's opening-lap clash in Mexico, but the wet race at Interlagos passed without radio arguments or disputes over position swaps between the two drivers. He credited a meeting held before the weekend for the smooth operation, saying they had reset their mindset and left his room joking together.

Asked whether the harmony would last through the rest of the season, Vasseur said he hoped so, adding that he was relieved by the outcome of the talks.
