Immediately after the race, Hamilton admitted to the media he was 100 per cent to blame, ♍revealin𒈔g he’d apologised to Piastri.

“He’s very sportsmanlike with these things, he is the only one that I see out theꦦre admitඣting and saying: 'I got this wrong'.
“We just had a chat⛦. [He said]: 'I didn’t see him on the right and it wa💞s on me.'
“Tha𝓰t kind of sportsmanship is what you need to admire with him. Pretty much everyone is always complaining and moaning just to try to not get a penalty.”
