The Mercede𝓡s and McLa🧸ren drivers clashed on Lap 42 of 51 at Monza.
Hamilton looked like he might creep up the inside at Roggia,🌃 but dr𓆏ifted into Piastri.
Piastri was forced to pit for a new front wing.
Hamilton was later able to overtake Lando Norris and Alex Al🔯bon en route to finishing🎐 sixth. He ended the race trying to open up enough of a gap on Albon to cling onto P6, which he managed.
His teammate George Russelꦕl was one spot further ahead in P5 but there was no denying the Red Bulls, despite the best efforts of the inspired Ferrari duꦬo.
Max Verstappen won a record-breaking 🦩10t🥃h grand prix in a row.
Both Mercedes drivers were hit with separate🃏 five-second time penalties in a frustrating race for them.
Hamilton later accepted the blame for his clash with Piastri: Hamilton apologises to Piastri for clash: ‘Misjudged the g💦ap, totally my faul🌳t’
