We didn't even touch. That's the thing. So, for me, it's a bit difficult to understand why we have the investigation after the race. Lewis was not there, but we explained our side of the story. I don't think Lewis actually felt a lot for it, because if he really felt something for it, then of course he's there in the stewards' room.""I went for a move up the inside, because it's a fast corner, but with downforce, you're a bit more under control anyway. I think he realised very late that I was up the inside there. So then he turned out of it a little bit and then went off the track. And that was it. We didn't touch. Nothing happened."He further added:"I think both of us didn't have the best of weekends anyway. That's just that one little thing. The more important thing is that we have to look at our performance, which was not good."Max Verstappen ultimately finished the race in P9 and came home with just two points, while Lewis Hamilton went pointless after 70 laps.
