Lewis Hamilton said Thursday that he wants talks with Charles Leclerc and Ferrari after their on-track battle at the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Hamilton started from pole and finished second to Max Verstappen in Mexico. He said a possible Ferrari one-two finish was lost after he and Leclerc ran side by side on the opening lap, according to Formula 1’s interview report.

Leclerc received a penalty for cutting the circuit. Hamilton dropped behind Verstappen and did not regain the lead.

Speaking ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Hamilton said the discussion had not yet taken place. The championship moves to Interlagos this weekend for round 20.
