Red Bull Formula 1 drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen have been handed reprimands for causing a collision during🐻 Sunday's Azerbaijan Grand prix after crashing at Turn 1 while battling for fourth position.

The Red Bull duo had been battling over fourth and fifth th💝roughout an action-packed race in Baku, with both drivers rubbing bodywork in the early stages as they exchanged positions. 

Having lost out to Verstappen during the pit stop window, a visibly-faster💯 Ricciardo slotted into his teammate’s slipstream and looked to make a move to reclaim fourth, but slammed into the rear of Verstappen's RB14 - taking both drivers out on the spot under braking for Turn 1.

Neither driver pinned the blame for the incident on each🌸 other, with the stewards handing bo🍃th Verstappen and Ricciardo their first reprimand of the season.

"The Stewards heard from Daniel Ricciardo, the driver of car 3, Max Verstappen, the driver of car 33 and the team representative. Both꧒ drivers contributeꦿd to the collision," the stewards' decision reads.

"The driver of car 33 made two moves, both of which were relatively minor. The driver of car 3 admitted he l♈eft his move to overtake on the left, too latℱe.

"It was obvious to the stewards that although the incident had its origins in the moves by car 33, the 𓆏driver of cꦜar 3 also contributed to the incident.

"Both drivers expressed regret about their respective contributions to the incident, during the Steward🅘s’ hearing."
