Alexand🌼er Albon said his collision with Lewis Hamilton during the൲ Brazilian Grand Prix felt like it happened in “slow motion”.

Hamilton and Albon tangled while battling over second place with two laps left to run at Interlagos as the newly-cro💃wned six-time world champion attempted a bold dive into Bico do Pato.

But Hamilton ran into the side of Albon’s Red Bull, sen🍬ding the British-born-Thai driver into a spin that plummeted him down t🎉o 14th in the order.

Hamilton, who admitted the incident was "completely my fault", went on to finish third on track and stood on the podium but later received a five-second tꦇime penalty that dropped him to seventh.

“I need to lo♛ok at it back to be honest,” Albon said.

“I felt like we came out of Turn 9 and I had some gap to Lewis. I thought 'we’re OK where we are’, and I felt 💦like I’ll go in a little bit hot, and turn to cover him so he doesn’t get any ideas.

“And of cours🐽e you see it, b🌊ut once you dive there’s a blindspot, and you don’t know how far alongside you he is.

“I thought ‘OK he’s far enough back 𒀰that I’ll give him some space’, but I didn’t expect it really. I had the contact, and it’s kind of that thing where you’re just waiting for it, it’s like ‘ah’ and then it goes slow motion.

“It was a shame because I think he would have overtaken me anyway, into ꧑Turn 1, obviously he had the fresh tyres and he wa🃏s looking racey.”

Asked how he will pick himself up from the disappointment, Albon replied: “I’d say try to gi🧔🐲ve myself positives.

“It was kind of on credit as well, it wasn’t like we lucked into it too m𒅌uch.

“We did with the Safety Car but the battle with the Ferraris was good fun. I felt like 𒅌we deserved to be there, but it wasn’t meant to be. Next race!”
