Alexander Albon said his collision with Lewis Hamilton durin🌞g the 𒊎Brazilian Grand Prix felt like it happened in “slow motion”.

Hamilton a♌nd Albon tangleꦺd while battling over second place with two laps left to run at Interlagos as the newly-crowned six-time world champion attempted a bold dive into Bico do Pato.

But Hamilton ran into the side of Albon’s Red Bull, sending the British-born-Thai driver into a spin that plummeted him down to 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 time penalty that dropped him to seventh.

“I need to look at it back to be hone🎃st,” Albon said.

“I felt like we came out of Turn 9 and I had some gap to Lewis. I thought 'ꦜwe’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 course you sಌee it, but on🍷ce 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 that I’ll give him some space’, but I didn’t expect it really. I had the contact, and it’s ki🌄nd of th💎at thing where you’re just waiting for it, it’s like ‘ah’ and then it goes slow motion.

“It was a shame because I th♈ink he would have overta༒ken me anyway, into Turn 1, obviously he had the fresh tyres and he was looking racey.”

Asked how he will pic🥀k himself up from the disappointment, Albon replied: “I’d say try to give myself positives.

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

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