Stroll’s Aston Martin and Latifi’s Williams clashed durin𒀰g Q1, forcing both out of the session and meaning they will begin Sunday’s race on the back row.

Stroll was accused of a “lack of situational awareness” and was “predo🦹minantly to blame”, the stewards ruled after reviewing a video replay.

But that didn’t stop the 𓆏drivers engaging in a blame game.

"I let him through because he was pus🌠hing to open the lap, so I was told, and then I saw he'd aborted the lap, so I wanted to c🌟arry on with my own preparation lap, so I went back by him," Latifi explained to Sky Sports F1.

🔯"There was a big gap and once I kind of got past him, for whatever reason, he does that at the turn.

"It's cl🌟ear for me on the video, [so] there's not much more to say."

Stroll hit back: "We were on a cool lap. I saw the video; he went to try and pass m🍒e all of a sudden in a very awkwa𒅌rd part of the circuit.

"The circuit falls off to the right and then to the left, where that is. I think what happened wꦆas just very awkward at an awkward part of the track.

"He was all of a sudden trying to cut by me and it gets narrower as the circuit fal𒐪ls to the right, and then we make contact. It's pretty ridiculous."
