SAO PAULO: Six-times world champion Lewis Hamilton apologised to Alexander Albon on Sunday for a collision that cost the Red Bull rookie a first Formula One podium.
"I massively apologise to Albon. I went for a move... the gap was kind of there, but obviously it closed right at the end and completely my fault. Hamilton was demoted to seventh, his 32nd consecutive finish in the points and one short of his own record, while Albon ended up 14th.Albon said Hamilton, on fresher tyres, would probably have got past anyway further down the road but third would have been his.The race was won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, the 22-year-old Dutch driver's third victory of the season and first from pole, with French 23-year-old Pierre Gasly the runner-up for Toro Rosso.
"Max did a fantastic job today. They just outclassed us in terms of overall performance. We couldn’t keep up with them on the straights," said the Briton.
