In an Instagram post 👍on Monday afternoon, Hamilton wrote: “Yest🐻erday I said VB left the door open and naturally people will jump to criticise.

“We are a team and we win and lose as a team. There is not one single person respons🌌ible for winning or losing, we do it together good or bad.

“You may be able to beat us, but you won’t be able to ꦺbreak u🍨s.

“Onto the next one Valtteri, let’s keep pushing bro𝄹!”

Hamilton also appeared to aim a dig towards Perez following their close battle for the podium places in the closing staꦐges of the 71-lap race. 

“I started second and finished second, so I can’t complain,” Hamilton told Sky after the race. “[I] got a really꧃ start and I feel like I maximised it with what I had.

“But jeez, their pace, it was just unbelievable today, and there was nothing I could do to battle thඣat. And when you’ve got Checo [Perez] on your tail, then you know the car is quick.”

Hamilton said he wanted to “make sure people don’t read what I was saying wron🌊g yesterday” in his social media update. 

“I have a lot of respect for Perez and think he’s doing a great job in his new tea🦋m,” he continued. “He’s improved so much this season and I know how hard it is to progress with a neඣw team, it takes time.

“My comment was simply that following another car in Mexico is the hardest thing due to the low drag we all have. That’s why th☂ere is very little oꦑvertaking.

“However, he was able to follow so closely w🀅hꦚich highlights just how much more downforce they were able to carry. Big up Checo for keeping it clean.”
