Formula One title rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen took each other out of the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, with Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff slamming the incident as a 'tactical foul'.
"The stewards are going to decide who is to blame," said Wolff after a race that ended in a McLaren one-two with Australian Daniel Ricciardo the winner. The Dutch driver was running in second place but lost 11 seconds in a slow pitstop that dropped him down to 10th place while Hamilton passed Norris to take the lead with Ricciardo having already pitted.
"He just didn't want to give way today and he knew when he was going into two what was going to happen...but he still did it," the Briton told Sky Sports television."I wanted to race... I didn't expect him to keep on squeezing, squeezing, squeezing. He didn't even need to. If he would have left me just a car width we would have raced out of turn two anyway and I think he would have probably still been in front.Both were summoned to stewards after the race.
The title rivals have collided before this season, notably at Hamilton's own British Grand Prix when Verstappen ended up in hospital for checks and Hamilton took the win.
