F1 stewards explain lenient Charles Leclerc penalty as Lewis Hamilton fumes at Mexican GP

The Formula One stewards have explained the mitigating factor which saw Charles Leclerc get off lightly despite going off track while fighting with Lewis Hamilton for the lead of the Mexico City Grand Prix . Hamilton started the race on pole for the first time since joining Ferrari, but he was swallowed up by his team-mate who fought for the lead into turn one and maintained the challenge throughout the opening lap. Leclerc eventually got through but ended up having to cut across the grass while defending against Hamilton.
