168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was at fault for their dramatic coming together in the closing stages of the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Having spent much of the race battling over the final spot on the podium, t൩he old title rivals clashed on Lap 63 when Verstappen dived down the inside 𝓀in a bid to claim third place.

The Red Bull driver locked up and ran deep into the corner, with🐼 his left-rear wheel making contact with Hamilton’s front right. Verstappen came off worse꧙ from the collision and was sent airborne into the run-off area.

Hamil༒ton went on to finish third, while Verstappen dropped behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to fifth.

“I went for a move which was fully on,” Verstappen told Sky Sports. “But then, in the middle of the braki♏ng zone when I’m already committed, he suddenly k🦂eeps warping right.

"If I hadn’t🐷 have turned, while braking straight, I would have made contact with him. Naturally, I lock up because he keeps turning to the right.

“People made a lot of what happened in Austria - it wasn’t correct blah blah blah. But that was on thℱe initial move. Then you brake straight, you hold your wheels straight.

“I felt like now, it wasn’t on the initial move, but afte✅rwards. During the braking zone he keeps turning right. You cannot do that when someone is committed to the inside.

“That’s why I locke💛d up, otherwise we would’ve collided anyway because he would’ve turned in on me.

“We’ll see. At the end of the day if you do a better strategy, you’re 🍎not in that position.

"But I don’t think it was wrong. I went for a move which wa♍s fully on. I don’t think I braked too late.”

When informed of Verstappen’s view of the incident, Hamilton laughed befor💮e responding: “I mean, for me, it was a racing incident. Ultimatꦆely, he was much quicker.

“He se🅠nt it. I moved, a little bit to defend. But I left space on the inside. He locked up. He then couldn’t turn, so came back at a different trajectory and clipped my whꦺeel.

“꧟So, if he was under control, he would have ♔gone by.”

Red B𒁃ull team principal Christian Horner admitted he also felt it was simply a “racing inꦏcident”.

The incident was investigated by the stewards, who decided to🍰 take no further action over the matter, deeming "no driver was predominantly to blame".
