The precise error that Mercedes made at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix, leading to Lewis Hamilton and George Russell’s collision, has been picked out.
Hamilton accepted fault, and apologised to his teammate, after the two Mercedes cars struck each other at Turn 1 last weekend.
“That's what really probably underlines the frustration at Mercedes was that they were on different strategies. "So I don't understand why it wouldn't have been the Mercedes strategy to say: 'okay guys, this is what we're going do - Lewis is on the soft, he is going to come round you. George, you are not going to fight him, and he is going to try and get Max, and that's what we're going to try and do.'
"As much as you have some spatial awareness, sure, but the focus is looking forward and driving forward.
