168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton was at fault for their dramatic coming together in the closing stages of the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

♓Having spent much of the race battling over the final spot on the podium, the old title rivals clashed on 🥂Lap 63 when Verstappen dived down the inside in a bid to claim third place.

The Red Bull driver locked up and ran deep into the corner, with his left-rear wheel making contact with Hamilton’s front right. Verstappen came off w🔯orse from the collision and was sent airborne into the run-off area.

Hamilton went on to finish third, while Vers🐟tappen dropped behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc t🌳o fifth.

“I went for a move which was fully on,” Verstappen told Sky Spo🅘rts. “But then, in the middle of the braking zone when I’m already committed, he suddenly keeps warping right.

"If I hadn’t have turned, while braking straight, I would have made contact with him. Naturally, I lock up🐲 because he keeps turning to the right.

“People made a lot of what happened in Austria - it wasn’t correct blah blah blah. But that was on the initial move. Then you brak🍰e straight, you hold your wheels straight.

“I felt like now, it wasn’t on the initial move, but afterwards. During the braking zone he keeps turning right. You 🍒cannot do that when someone is committed to the inside.

“That’s why I locked up, otherwise we would’ve c📖ollided anyway because he would’𒁏ve turned in on me.

“We’ll see. At the end of the day if you do a be🌟tter ♐strategy, you’re not in that position.

"𝕴But I don’t think i꧒t was wrong. I went for a move which was fully on. I don’t think I braked too late.”

When informed of Verstappen’s view of the incident, Hamilton laughed before responding: “I mean, for 🦹me, it was a racing incident. U🌠ltimately, he was much quicker.

“He sent it. I moved, a little bit to defend. But I left space on the inside. He locked u💧p. He then couldn🍌’t turn, so came back at a different trajectory and clipped my wheel.

“So, if he was under contr☂ol, hꦍe would have gone by.”

Red Bull team principal Christi💖an Horner admitted he also felt it was simply a “racing incident”.

The incident was investigated by the stewards, who decided to take no further action over the matter, deeming "no driver was predo🌳minantly to blame".
