Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen differ on collision

Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen have given differing views of their on-track battle at the end of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The pair collided on lap 57 after Raikkonen attempted to pass the Red Bull driver, the Finn protested on the radio that Verstappen made more than one move to defend his position, causing the two to make contact and Raikkonen to damage his front wing.

"I've seen people penalised for much less, but it's not my decision," Raikkonen said after the race.

Verstappen made light of the situation though and insisted he did nothing wrong.

"I think it's good to finally hear Kimi talk on the radio. I have no issues. Everything was fair," he said.

  • No shit, though IMO Verstappen was at fault here, he did move twice where he only was allowed to move once.

    • He definitely did, these hype boys are being let go scot-free while things like Button's problem with his car gets penalized. Wow being an a-hole on-track pays I guess with these new rules from the FIA?

    • What they pulled with Button was ridiculous. It went completely against everything they said so far.
