Ferrari saw its ambitions crumble from the first lap of the Mexican Grand Prix after a collision between its two drivers.
Sunday, November 1st, the Mexican Grand Prix proved to be an especially difficult evening for Ferrari. While the red single-seaters had started from excellent positions on the grid, the Italian team's hopes evaporated prematurely following a collision between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in the opening hundred meters of the race.
This incident, which occurred in the early laps of the event, not only compromised the Maranello-based team's podium chances but also created internal tensions. Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur did not hide his displeasure after the race, describing the event as a "lack of respect" towards the team.
Managing this delicate situation will now be at the heart of the Italian sporting direction's concerns. Both drivers will need to find common ground to prevent such incidents from happening again, as the season continues with ever-increasing stakes.
On track, it was Max Verstappen (Red Bull) who claimed victory, consolidating his position at the top of the World Championship standings. Meanwhile, Ferrari will need to digest this Mexican disappointment and focus on the upcoming races on the calendar.
