But it w🌱as later only Mercedes and Russell who were warned by stewa🔥rds.

When Hamilton was interviews by Rosberg after his podium finish in Barcꦕelona, there was no awkwardness.

“So I really want to take my hat off to my team.

“A big, big thankyou to everyone bac𓆉k at the factory for continuing to push, and bring us closer to the Re♚d Bulls.

ꦅ“They are still a bit ahead but we’ll keep cha﷽sing them down.

“🌞This is an amazing result. George did a great job as well.”

Rosberg had previously said about the Hamilton-Russell clash in qualifying: “Lewis decided to go for it an𝕴d overtake and George didn’t see him at all. 🐬So it’s kind of just unfortunate.

"But I think there will be sꦗome serious discussions nevertheless.

“George apologised, which I think is right, but I think 🎉Lewis also needs to apo🎀logise because if Lewis goes through, George's lap is done. 

"Lewis would be right in front and George 🦋would be stuck behind him and his lap will be ruined. It was his last try to get into Q3, so also Lewis need𝓀s to apologise later on.”
