Red Bull Formula 1 team principal Christian Horner believes Lewis Hamilton is the driver who needs to question his approach to racing after his latest clash with Alex Albon during the Austrian Gไrand Prix.

Hamilton and Albon came togethꦐer late on in Sunday’s race at the Red Bull Ring as Albon attempted a bold around-the-outside pass on the second-placed Mercedes driver.

Albon was sent spinning into the gravel and later retired with technical issues, while Hamilton was handed a five-second time penalty after the stewards judged the six-times world champion was predominately to blame. He subsequently dropped from second on the road to✤ fourth after the post-race penalty was applied.

It marked the second time in three races the pair have collided after Hamilton punted Albon out of podium contentionไ in a similar incident during last year’s Brazili🅠an Grand Prix.

Asked what advice he would give Albon the next time he battles Hamil♐ton, Horner replied: “Probably be careful!

“Alex didn't have the straight-line speed, so he knew he had,ജ with the grip advantage, to pass him in or out of a corner.

Albon had described their Brazil clash as a “fifty-fifty” incident but was left convinced th👍at Hamilton was fu൩lly in the wrong this time around, saying it was “up to him if he wants to crash or not.”

🍸Mercedes tea🎉m principal Toto Wolff reckoned Hamilton’s penalty was “too harsh”, but Horner felt Albon was the innocent party.

“Al𝔍ex had won the corner, and he was on the exit of the corner,” he explained.

“Why Lewis needed to stick a wheel in there, I have no i💞dea. It’s obviously frustrating for Alex that this is the second time in three races that this has happened to him.

“It was unfortunate, because I🥃 think he would have had a chance to win the 🌞race.”
