Lewis Hamilton accused Mercedes team mate George Russell of taking him out of the Qatar Grand Prix after the two collided at the first corner of the opening lap on Sunday.
"I got taken out by my own team mate," said the seven times Formula One world champion over the radio.
He tried to go around Russell on the outside but his rear right wheel made contact with the front left of the younger Briton's car, spinning both around. "I'm so sorry guys. I wasn't even looking behind," he added. "I was just focused ahead and he just came from nowhere. Team boss Toto Wolff, who is not in Qatar due to recent knee surgery, then came on the radio to tell Russell to focus on the race.
