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 seemed to end plans for a flying lap, ju🍰st as Hamilton was tr✨ying to pass him.
Haꦿmilton was not told that Russell was moving slo🧸wly.
Russell, unawᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚare of Hamilton, moved to th🍃e 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 reaction was to call it “dang📖erous” on his team radio.
The FIA♔ ruling said that Russell admitted to stewards “he had not checked his mirrors” but also “his team🥀 did not inform him” of Hamilton’s approach.
“However, in mitigation, he was reacting 🉐to the car in front of him”, the document continued.
Hamilton will start from fourth in Ba💜rcelona, Russell 💙12th.
