Lewis Hamilton reveals Charles Leclerc talks after Ferrari tension

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that talks have been held with Charles Leclerc following the Azerbaijan GP, where some tension was present post-race.  At the Baku City Circuit, Hamilton was allowed to overtake Leclerc for eighth late in the race to see if he could catch and overtake those ahead.  Hamilton was unable to make any further progress, but then failed to return the position to his Ferrari team-mate prior to the chequered flag.  The seven-time world champion immediately apologised to the Monegasque, who suggested to the media afterwards that Hamilton did not respect Ferrari's rules.  However, ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, the pair have spoken over what happened. Asked by select media including RacingNews365 if he had spoken to Leclerc, Hamilton said: "I spoke to Charles. Everything's fine.  "Charles' been great, and, yeah, we worked on communication to make sure that doesn't happen again. It won't happen again."

Baku struggles explained

Baku was a frustrating event for Hamilton who had ended the opening day quickest, before everything went wrong from qualifying.  The 105-time race winner was eliminated in Q2 on his way to finishing in eighth, a result which was due to mistake by the team and Hamilton. Explaining what caused his Baku difficulties from qualifying onwards, Hamilton revealed: "We went slightly in the wrong direction with wing. That was ultimately a joint decision.  "We make decisions together, and then just our execution in qualifying.  "So, that's an area where we knew that the medium tyre was three tenths faster, and then we didn't end up using it.  "That again, that's areas that we can improve on and make sure we don't do that."
