Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur has revealed details of the crunch meeting between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc amid their bitter fallout in Mexico.
Contention between the two Scuderia drivers rose after the pair clashed on Lap 1 of the race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Leclerc snatched the lead off of Hamilton, and stayed in the lead when he took to the track limits to avoid a significant collision.
Alas, both drivers failed to win, with Leclerc recieving a five-second time penalty, and Hamilton falling behind eventual race-winner Max Verstappen.
After the race, Hamilton publicly conveyed his anger with a number of comments aimed at the Monegasque driver, which continued into the following weekend in Sao Paulo.
With Leclerc arriving late due to the birth of his first child, Bianca, the pair eventually sat down to discuss their differences on the incident.
Hamilton later revealed the two has “squashed” it, indicating all was now, at the very least, far more harmonious than it had previously been.
“Everything’s good,” Hamilton also said. “Fred brought us together. Fred was great in the meeting. And then he just left me and Charles to just give our points.
“We both had a really good, open discussion. And it’s all good now. We’ll just move on.”
Asked about his role in the talks, Vasseur revealed: “Honestly, we had a good discussion on Friday. We cleared the situation.
“I think we did a good reset on the mindset, and they left my room joking together.”
With any incident avoided in Sao Paulo, focus now turns to the Las Vegas Grand Prix next weekend, with Hamilton and Leclerc needing to work together to solidify Ferrari’s place in second in the Constructors’ Championship.
