Did Charles Leclerc deserve a penalty for cutting Turn 1 at F1 Mexico GP start?
Sky Sports F1 pundit Jamie Chadwick believes Charles Leclerc was fortunate to avoid a penalty at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where he went off track at Turn 1. Despite cutting the corner with Max Verstappen, Leclerc slowed to let Lando Norris reclaim the lead, similar to Hamilton losing ground to Verstappen. Chadwick argued that Leclerc should have been penalized, noting Hamilton was ahead of Leclerc at the crucial moment. While the stewards took no action, there was debate whether Leclerc should have given the place back to Hamilton. Former F1 driver Karun Chandhok suggested Leclerc was caught out by oversteer on the dusty track rather than intentionally cutting the corner. Overall, the consensus was divided on whether Leclerc should have faced a penalty for the Turn 1 incident at the Grand Prix.
