Lewis Hamilton has clarified comments he made about Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas and Red Bull's Sergio Perez in the aftermath of the Mexican Grand Prix.
Hamilton finished second behind title rival and championship leader Max Verstappen in Mexico City. After the race, Hamilton joined Mercedes boss Toto Wolff in criticising Bottas' lack of a defensive move at Turn 1, which allowed Verstappen into the lead of the race at the start.
Hamilton told the press after the race Bottas had "left the door open" for Verstappen, who now leads the championship by 19 points with four races left.
