Lewis Hamilton has addressed his incident with Max Verstappen during Formula 1 qualifying at Monaco Grand Prix, which led to a three-place grid drop for Sunday’s race. The seven-time world champion said his team mistakenly told him that Verstappen was slowing down, which prompted him to move back to the middle of the track – and impede the Red Bull driver.
Hamilton, who qualified fourth, will now start seventh after he blocked Verstappen into Massenet during Q1, causing the Dutchman to abandon his lap.
