— Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1)
The Mercedes and McLaren drivers clashed onཧ Lap 42 of 51 at 🎶Monza.
Hamilton looked like he might creep up the inside at Roggia, but drifted into Piast♐ri.
Piastri was forced to pit for a new front wing.
Hamilto🦄n was later able to overtake Lando Norris 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 Verst൩appen won a record-breaking 10thღ grand prix in a row.
Both Merce🅷des drivers were hit with separate five-second time penalties in a frustrat꧃ing race for them.
Hamilton later accepted the blame for his clash with Piastri: Hamilton apologises to Pi🐼astri for clash: ‘Misjudged the gap, totally my fault’
