Max Verstappen wins Mexican GP as Lewis Hamilton holds off Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc, who tangled with Sergio Perez on the opening lap, is heavily booed by the Mexican fans in attendance before his post-race interview.

“A lot of booing,” he says. “Guys, I had nowhere to go. I was a bit in between the Red Bulls and unfortunately I touched Checo.

“It’s life. I damaged my car and unfortunately it ended the race of Checo. On our end, we maximised our race.

“Of course, I’m disappointed to end the race of Checo like that but I really didn’t do it on purpose and had nowhere to go.”
