Hamilton admitted he was at fault for the crash which put him out of the race and said the pair would talk about it to clear the air. Both drivers initially believed the other to be at fault but when Hamilton saw the incident he accepted he was to blame. The pair are both contracted to Mercedes until 2025 and Hamilton insisted they would continue to work together constructively. Russell, who went on to recover to finish fourth, also believed the pair would be able to put the incident behind them.
