Max Verstappen had a scare with Lewis Hamilton in the first part of qualifying at the Circuit de Monaco, leading to a stewards investigation.
Max Verstappen has blamed Ferrari for his incident with Lewis Hamilton in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix, not the seven-time world champion. Hamilton and Verstappen have to visit the stewards following qualifying after the Briton was judged to have impeded the Dutchman at Massenet in Q1. The Ferrari driver was told by his team that Verstappen behind was driving slowly, when in fact the reigning world champion was on a hot lap. It led to a close moment between the duo, with Hamilton having been cruising on the racing line which forced Verstappen to go wide. Hamilton immediately complained over the radio, and apologised to his 2021 rival straight after qualifying. Despite the initial scare and frustration of the incident, Verstappen has pointed the blame at Ferrari rather than Hamilton.
