Charles Leclerc hits back at Lewis Hamilton for 'very much on the limit' driving

Charles Leclerc has defended his aggressive opening-lap maneuvers against Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton during the Mexico City Grand Prix. While Hamilton has requested internal discussions regarding the incident, Leclerc maintains that both drivers pushed to the limit while battling for the lead and that the situation has been overstated.

Both drivers went off-track at Turns 4 and 5, resulting in a five-second penalty for Leclerc and allowing Max Verstappen to seize the lead and eventual victory.
