Lewis Hamilton explains Max Verstappen incident at Monaco Grand Prix

Photo/Formula 1 Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen collided on the penultimate lap of their tense Monaco GP duel, although race stewards imposed no penalty. Hamilton, nursing worn tyres, provided a defensive masterclass to keep the Red Bull, on harder tyres, behind and came under his only real attack on the 77th lap when Verstappen attempted a move at the harbourside chicane. "It was close,” Hamilton said after the race. “A bit of a late dive, luckily I saw him last minute, but his front wing was alongside my rear wheels so he wasn't really pulling past. A light touch and we move on. No it didn’t scare me, I had no tyres left." Hamilton has now extended his championship lead, with teammate Valtteri Bottas finishing in third, the first time this season Mercedes have failed to finish one-two. Source- Express
