The ‘small argument’ Rosberg thinks Hamilton can make about Russell crash
In a dramatic first corner collision, Hamilton and Russell collided, leaving Hamilton in the gravel and Russell at the back of the grid. Hamilton took full responsibility for the collision and apologized to Russell after the race. Russell staged an impressive recovery drive to finish fourth. Hamilton used his faster, grippier soft tires to make a strong start and had a chance to take the lead after Turn 1. Rosberg believes that Mercedes’ decision to put their drivers on different tire compounds may have been a risk. However, he also praised Hamilton’s skill for suffering only six first-lap retirements in his 17-year F1 career.
