Lewis Hamilton has blamed Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas for leaving the "door open" to title rival Max Verstappen at the first corner of the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday.
After Mercedes locked out the front of the grid for the first time this season, Verstappen passed both Hamilton and pole-sitter Bottas as he surged around the outside of the Finn heading into Turn 1.
The move proved vital as Verstappen went on to secure his second consecutive win in the Americas and extend his championship lead over Hamilton to 19 points with four races of the season remaining.
