Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur says Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc resolved their issues in a private meeting before the São Paulo Grand Prix, after the teammates' opening-lap clash at the Mexican Grand Prix. The race at Interlagos then passed without radio arguments or disputes over position swaps between the two drivers.

Speaking after the race, Vasseur said he thought the conversation had reset their mindset and recalled that Hamilton and Leclerc left his room joking together. He first described the discussion as taking place on Friday, then later referred to a Thursday meeting.

Vasseur said he hoped the improved harmony would last.
