The incident between the two world champions happened during FP2 during Emilia Romagna Grand Prix practice.
Lewis Hamilton took responsibility for the incident involving Max Verstappen during the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix practice session at Imola. Verstappen encountered a slow Hamilton at Turns 5 and 6 in FP2, leading him to abort his lap to avoid a collision with the Mercedes driver. Hamilton immediately extended his hand as a gesture of apology, eventually finishing fourth, ahead of Verstappen, who faced challenges with Red Bull that day. Despite facing criticism from Fernando Alonso for appearing slow from the exit of Tosa, Hamilton quickly apologized for the incident, acknowledging his mistake and expressing his attempts to make amends, although Verstappen was already frustrated at that point.
