This was the stewards’ ruling on the Lewis Hamilton v George Russell collision in Barcelona
Lewis Hamilton and Russell made contact with each other during qualifying due to what🔥 was labelled a “miscommunication”.
Russell seem꧃ed to end plans for a flying lap, just as Hamilton was trying to pass him.
Hamilton was💦 not told that Russꦿell was moving slowly.
Russel🀅l, unaware of Hamilton, moved to the left and damaged his esteemed teammate’s front wing.
This “abnormal change o♊f direction” from Russell is what the stewards were analysing.
Hamilton’s initial reღaction was to call it “dangero🌺us” on his team radio.
The FIA ruling s🌱aid that Russell admitted to stewards “he had not checked his mirrors” but also “his team did not inform him” of Hamilton’s a൲pproach.
“However, in mitigation, he was reacting to the car in front of him”, the documen🃏t continued.
Hamilton will start from❀ fourth♉ in Barcelona, Russell 12th.
