Ferrari's Mexico GP lead fight brings Leclerc penalty and calls for team talks

Leclerc cut across the grass to take the lead from Hamilton on the opening lap. Stewards cited Hamilton also going off track and the incident's first-lap timing in giving Leclerc five seconds rather than the 10-second baseline. Verstappen took the lead when Leclerc served the penalty and won. Hamilton called for “serious talks” within Ferrari, while Leclerc said both drivers made mistakes. Team boss Fred Vasseur said their fight showed too little respect for Ferrari staff.
