Lewis Hamilton’s furious team radio rant has emerged after the Ferrari driver clashed with teammate Charles Leclerc during Saturday night’s Mexico GP.

The race got off to a chaotic start, with controversy unfolding almost immediately. Starting from pole position, Hamilton came under repeated pressure from Leclerc as the pair went wheel-to-wheel in the opening corners.

Their battle eventually saw both drivers run off track, allowing the Pole to emerge in the lead while Hamilton dropped to third behind Max Verstappen.

The incident left the Brit rocked, and his race continued to unravel as he eventually slipped to fourth, while Leclerc recovered to fight for a podium finish in Mexico City.

What Happened Between Hamilton & Leclerc in Mexico GP

After initially holding onto his lead into Turn 1 in Mexico, Lewis Hamilton came under pressure from Charles Leclerc, who tucked into his slipstream on the approach to Turn 4.

Taking the outside line alongside Hamilton, the Monegasque braked later and ran wide, with his teammate also forced off the track, albeit to a lesser extent.Leclerc cut across the grass and emerged as the new leader, while Hamilton rejoined the circuit sooner but was immediately overtaken by Max Verstappen. Watch the incident below:

The Brit was quick to voice his frustration over team radio, making his displeasure clear by saying “Got pushed out by my own teammate.”

The incident was referred to the stewards for investigation, but Hamilton was meanwhile left battling on his older, slower soft tyres behind Leclerc and Verstappen.

Leclerc was eventually handed a five-second penalty by the stewards. However, with running in clean air crucial to keeping temperatures under control, Hamilton remained far from satisfied with the outcome.

Indeed, it would seem the winner of a record seven World Drivers' Championships was left feeling unenamoured by his teammate for the rest of the race, having previously told his team 'we've got big problems'.

Lewis Hamilton's Furious Radio Rant After Leclerc Incident

“Problem with the five second penalty is he’s got clean air,” he said. “He doesn’t have to manage like the rest of us.” Hamilton’s frustration only continued to grow as he felt his opportunity to fight for the victory had been compromised by his teammate’s driving.

“The stewards are basically handing Charles this win,” he said, before revealing: “We agreed, in the drivers’ briefing.”

At the time of writing, Red Bull superstar Verstappen leads the third-from-last race of the F1 season, with Leclerc second, and Kimi Antonelli - who only needs a top nine finish to be crowned the youngest World Champion in F1 history, regardless of where his rivals finish.
