Immediately after the race, Hamilton admitted to the media he was 100 per cent to 💫blame, revealing he’d apologised to Piastri.

“I think a five-second penalty fo🎐r that is what the menu says.
“ꦕThese things happen, it's hard raci🧔ng. You've got to overtake here and we’ve seen a few of these. It’s justifiable.
“He’s very sportsmanlike with these th🔯ings, he is the only one that I see out there admitting and saying: 'I got this wr🃏ong'.
“We just had a﷽ chat. [He said]: 'I didn’t see him on the right and it was on me.'
“That kind of sportsma🦄nship is what you need to admire with him. Pretty much everyone is always complaining and moaning just to try t💃o not get a penalty.”
