Valtteri Bottas has put 100 percent of the blame on George Ruꦦssell for their race-ending incident in the Formula 1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Bottas and Russell collided wh✃ile battling for ninth place on Lap 31 at I🦂mola.

Rus🍃sell was attempting an overtake on Bottas down the 🌺main straight and moved to the right of the Finn to try and get the move done.

In doing so🔯, the Williams driver touched the white line, causing him to lose control and crash into Bottas’💧 Mercedes.

Both drivers were understandably annoyed after the incident, with Russell going over to Bottas while the Finn was stil𓆉l in his stricken car. 

Reflecti✨ng on the incident with Russell, Bottas said: “Yeah, it was quite a big one, quite high speed. Obviously could have been a lot worse, but I’m OK.

“I think that lap, or just before, the DRS was again available for people. I was still struggling with the warm-up of the tyres, with the dry tyres. Then George could close, he obviously went for an over♕take in a🎉 place there is pretty much only one dry line. I’ve seen the replay, there was definitely space for two cars all the time.

“I don’t know what he was [talking] about, trying to say something. It was completely hiꦦs fault, quite disappointing.”

Bottas confirmed he couldn’t hear what Russell said✃ when the Williams driver comforted him straight after the incident.

Even without the crash with Russell, Bottas was enduring a miserable weekend❀ up until that point and had been lapped by race leader Max Verstappen.

“Very disappointing, yes,” Botta꧃s added. “No points from today and it was a struggle, even until the crash. Nobody knows what still could have been possible. But we need to t🌊ake learnings from this week and move on.”
