Lewis Hamilton's dispute with Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc has intensified, with reports suggesting a Mercedes driver has pitched to join another team ahead of this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.
Championship Decided in Mexico
Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli heads into the weekend having already secured the drivers' championship. The 20-year-old finished third in Mexico last weekend, behind Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, a result that gave him an unassailable lead with four races remaining.
Turn Four Collision Sparks Tension
The Mexican Grand Prix brought fresh drama between the Ferrari teammates. Hamilton led from pole position, but Leclerc's attack at turn four caused problems for both drivers, allowing Verstappen to take advantage. Leclerc initially took the lead but was handed a five-second time penalty for cutting the corner, leaving him unable to hand the position back to Hamilton without surrendering the lead to Verstappen.
Both Hamilton and Leclerc have spoken out about the incident, with Leclerc reportedly demanding 'serious talks' at Ferrari. The situation has escalated as speculation grows over a Mercedes driver's potential move to another team.
