“It was all in the heat of the moment. I mean... I didn’t really understand what happened. I just felt the tap from behind and I don’t think George probably had anywhere to go. It’s just one of those really unfortunate situations. I’m happy to take responsibility for it”

Lewis Hamilton accepted responsibility on Sunday for his opening corner collision with Mercedes team-mate George Russell that saw him crash out of the Qatar Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion lost his rear right wheel when he hit the front wing of Russell’s car as he attempted to pass him on the outside. Russell also spun but recovered and, after an immediate pit-stop for repairs, rejoined the race and finished fourth. “I feel so sorry for my team,” said a crestfallen Hamilton. “The opportunity was there too for us to score a lot of good points.
