New footage released by Mer🎀cedes after the race showed their drivers embracing.
“Sorry about today,” Hamilton told Russell after tracking him dowꦇn, then hugging him.
“It wasn’t your fault.”
Hamilton had previously taken to social media to accept the blameღ for their Turn 1 collision.
“I’ve watched the replay and it was 100% my fault and I take full responsibility. Apologies to my team and t🃏o George,” Hamilton posted.

It is the second consecutive grand prix involving an incident between the two Mercedes 🌳drivers.
As they 🌞look📖 towards 2024’s W15, it will add to the growing narrative around their competitiveness on track.
But as the🔜y parted ways in Qatar with a hug, a handshake and a thumbs up, F1 fans will wonder if the harmony will remain…
