Immediately after the race, Hamilton adꦗmitted to the media he was 100 per cent to blame, revealing he’d apologised to Piastri.
“Yeah, that was Lewis’ mistake,” Wolff said when asked about the Piastri clasꦦh.
🤪“I think a five-second penalty for that is what the menu says.
“These things happen, it's hard racing. You've got⛎ to overtake here and we’ve seen a few of these. It’s justifiable.
“He’s very sportsmanlike with these things, he is the only o🅷ne that I see out there admitting and saying: 'I got this wro✃ng'.
“We just had a chat. [He said]: 'I didn’t see him on t🐈he right and itꦚ was on me.'
“That kind of sportsmanship is what you nee🐻d to admire with him. Pretty much everyone is always complaining and moaning just to try to not get a penalty.”
