Lewis Hamilton dropped out on the first lap of the Qatar Grand Prix today. The British Mercedes driver hit the car of his teammate George Russell in the first corner. The emotions were great, but Hamilton also showed himself to be a great sportsman. He apologized afterwards.
Hamilton saw a gap at the start of the race and decided to go for it. He pushed his car next to Russell’s car, but Max Verstappen also drove next to it. Hamilton touched the front of Russell’s car with his rear wheel. Hamilton lost his tire, slid backwards into the gravel and his race was over. He still has to report to the stewards for the incident, and he also has to answer for crossing the track.
Afterwards Hamilton reacted very sportily. He posted a photo on Instagram and wrote that he takes all responsibility and that he apologizes to Russell. Sky Sports also commented: “I’m sorry for the team. We had a chance to score good points today. I didn’t understand what was happening at first, I felt something at the back. I don’t think George could go anywhere. I take full responsibility. Everyone works very hard, so it is a shame to get this result. This rarely happens to me.”
