Lap 4/71: Max Verstappen charges on mediums behind Charles Leclerc after frantic Turn 1 duel

Drama straight from the 830-metre run down into Turn 1 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez! Pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton locked up his front soft tyre under heavy braking and went wheel-to-wheel with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, allowing Leclerc to seize the race lead while Max Verstappen capitalised on his medium-compound start from fifth to slice up into second ahead of Hamilton. Over team radio, Hamilton felt he was squeezed wide through the opening chicane while Isack Hadjar spun to the back of the pack behind pit-lane starter Liam Lawson.
