Sergey Sirotkin says he has nothing to🎃 be “too angry” at Lewis Hamilton for following the pair’s near-miss during qualifying for the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix.

In a scramble to get flying laps in on slick tyres amid the increasing threat ﷺof rain towards the end of Q2, Sirotkin caught the back of Hamilton at the end of his out-lap, w༒ith the recently-crowned champion narrowly avoiding collecting the Williams driver as he inadvertently jinked into his path.

Sirotkin was able to avoid making contact with Hamilton’s Mercedes as he took to the grass in at high-ꩲspeed, while the Interlagos stewards are yet to confirm whether they will look into the incꦑident further.

“Why everybody asking about Lewi🌼s and not about where we are?,” Sirotkin replied🍷 when asked for his view on the incident.

“To be honest [there𒆙’s] nothing I’𒐪m too angry with him for,” he added.

“I needed to push that lap to get my tyres... It was all a bit unplanned where we were and we could not put the tyres in the blank🅘ets between the runs so we were massively down on temps.

“Basically that outlap was as quick as my any other lap, almost. I was properly flat outꦑ, I was coming through the very quick left hander there, and he was𝄹 stopping to prepare his lap.

“I went on the left, not even hopin𝓀g that he would let me go because he was so slow and I was coming so quickly and then in the last miꦏnute he saw me and tried to avoid me.

“H🧔e gave me the racing line but I was already on the left so I had to pass through the grass and basically my lap was ruined after that.

“But he’s a champion, he knows what he’s doing and didn’t change my position at the end ꦆof the day. But it’s a go▨od day in general.”

Hamilton, who went on to claim his 10th pole position of the season, hit out at Sirotkin following the session, accusing the Russian of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“a disrespectful move” that he decribed 🐷as being “comp🎀letely unnecessary”.

Sirotkin has since been summoned to the stewards for “driving unnecessarily slowly” on an in-lap during qualifying, with Haas driver Kevin M🧸agnussen - who qualified 11th – has also been pulled up for the same infringement.
