“Somebody is going to get squeezed, get nudged, somebody is going to suffer"
They touched wheels as Hamilton squeezed down the inside, resulting in Sainz complaining about the manoeuvre via team radio.Hamilton defended himself: “I think it was clean. Ultimately, he didn’t cover the inside fully. He left the door open which I went for.
“A late move, got up alongside, we were wheel-to-wheel. He was still on the track so I left him space as much as I could.”“The gap is left, like he said, on the inside.“You look at the car on the outside that is coming towards you. “The car on the outside should always be leaving a full car’s width to the white line. “Remember, is the edge of the track, not the kerb.
“Because of that kerb, car bounces off. Lewis has to fight the car. He’s trying his best to keep it from touching the Ferrari. “But because he’s been pushed onto the kerb before, he’s now relying on Carlos giving even more room. Because he has been a little squeezed.“There was a bit of contact. But it was caused, I think, mainly because Lewis was squeezed that little bit towards the corner.Damon Hill agreed that Hamilton’s move was clean: “I think so. I’ve seen some great racing. Some great overtaking.“Somebody is going to get squeezed, get nudged, somebody is going to suffer.
