The Me𓃲rcedes and McLaren drivers clashed on Lap 42 of 51 at 💧Monza.
Hamilton looked like he might cre💝ep up the inside at Roggia, but drifted into Piastri.
Piastri was forced to pit for a new front wing.
Hamilton was later able to overtake Lando N🐻orris and Alex Albon 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 Russell was one spot further ahead in P5 but there was no 🏅denying the Red Bulls, despite the best efforts of the inspired Ferrari duo.
Max Verstappen won a record-br▨ea🐽king 10th grand prix in a row.
Both Mercedes drivers were hit with s🎉eparate 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: ‘M💜isju𒁃dged the gap, totally my fault’
