Daniel Ricciardo apologized to Nico Hulkenberg after causing a crash during the Italian GP.
The collision occurred at Turn 8 on the first lap of the race, forcing Hulkenberg's Haas off the track and allowing his teammate Kevin Magnussen to take advantage. The fallout from this incident was immediate, with Ricciardo receiving a five-second time penalty for causing the collision. This penalty was compounded by a subsequent 10-second penalty after one of his mechanics touched the car during the initial penalty period in the pits.
“I spoke to him after the race, I thought we had space, but felt the contact so didn’t give him enough room, and I apologised.“The car felt ok after, and we pushed as hard as we could with what we had. I was trying to get the maximum out of the car from Friday afternoon to today.The race also saw another dramatic collision involving Yuki Tsunoda and Hulkenberg. Tsunoda was forced to retire early after sustaining floor damage from the incident.
“I tried to leave as much space as possible, but it seemed he locked up, causing him to lose control and crash into me.“I felt it straight away and tried to continue, but the car was sliding around and I simply wasn’t able to drive it.
