Antonio Giovinazzi h💙as criticised Formula 1 rookie Nikita Mazepin for lacking respect after ruining his qualifying lap at the Emilia Romagn꧑a Grand Prix.

The pair had a run-in during Q1 at Imola a💝s Haas driver Mazepin oꦕvertook Giovinazzi’s Alfa Romeo on the run to the first chicane as they both started their final flying laps and hampered the Italian’s effort.

Drivers usually follow what is cons𓆏idered to be a qualifying etiquette in trying to leave each other space to start their respective timed laps, but Mazepin appeared to ignore tꦯhis as he got into Giovinazzi’s slipstream on the main straight and fought him for track position.

Both drivers were eliminated in the openin🌠g segment of qualifying and Giovinazzi was left unimpressed by Mazepin’s actions, saying over team radio: “What is Mazepin doing, honestly?”

It is the second time in two grands prix that the Russian has overtaken drivers at the start of the qualifying lap after doing the same at the seaso𓂃n-opener in Ba꧟hrain.

And Giovinaz☂zi has accused Mazepin of being disrespectful early in h🌳is F1 career.

"It's quite clear," Giovin🌟🌠azzi said after qualifying.

"We respect each other on this, starting the lap, and he didn't respect this. This is really not cꦺorrect f💃or a qualifying lap. I didn't make my last lap.”

Explaining his actions,🌼 Mazepin insisted he had little alternative with tiꦓme running out at the end of Q1.

"In F1 it is a bit difficult as the🐼re's 20 cars, obviously, in segment one, which is where we are," he said.

"Everyone is g꧂oing out at the same time, and the track is just not big enough for all of us.

"We had this chat about the gentlemen's agreement, and obviously I didn't have a problem with that. But when there is three s▨econds on the clock, it is either you go or you have to box, and you're going across the start/finish first.

"So I do꧅n't think there's an issue with it. I'm here to do my laps, a🔴nd, you know, we are all in the same world.”
