What happened: Lewis Hamilton called for internal team discussions at Ferrari following an opening-lap collision with Charles Leclerc at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Team principal Frederic Vasseur indicated that insufficient respect was shown between the drivers during the early duel. Hamilton recovered from the incident to finish second behind winner Max Verstappen, while Leclerc took fourth.

Why it matters: The incident highlights intra-team friction as Ferrari manages two front-running drivers competing for the same track position. With Kimi Antonelli securing the 2026 drivers' championship in Mexico City, managing garage discipline remains vital for Ferrari across the final races.

By the numbers: Hamilton started on pole position and finished second, while Leclerc qualified third and completed the race in fourth.

What to watch: Ferrari leadership will hold internal debriefs to establish operational ground rules before the next race weekend.
