Red Bull Formula 1 drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen have been handed reprimands for causing a collision during Sunday's Aze🦩rbaijan Grand prix after crashing at Turn ✅1 while battling for fourth position.

The Red Bull duo had been battling over fourth and fifth throughout an action-packed race in Baku, with both dri✱vers rubbing bodywork in the early stages as they exchanged positions. 

Having lost out to Verstappen during the pit stop window, a visibly-faster Ricciardo slotted into his teammate’s slipstream and looked to make a move to reclaim fourth, but slammed into the rear of Verstappen's RB14 - taking both drivers out▨ on the spot under braking for Turn 1.

ℱNeither driver pinned the blame for the incident♑ on each other, with the stewards handing both Verstappen and Ricciardo their first reprimand of the season.

"The Ste🌌wards heard from Daniel Ricciardo, the driver of car 3, Max Verstappen, the driver of car 33 and the team 🌸representative. Both drivers contributed to the collision," the stewards' decision reads.

"The driver of car 33 made two m𒁏oves, both o♔f which were relatively minor. The driver of car 3 admitted he left his move to overtake on the left, too late.

"It was obvious to the stewards💟 that although the incident had its origiඣns in the moves by car 33, the driver of car 3 also contributed to the incident.

"Both drivers expressed regre✤t about their respective contributions to the incident, during the Stew🔴ards’ hearing."
