Hamilton: "Massive apologies to Albon"

Lewis Hamilton has apologised to Alex Albon for making contact in the dying laps at the Brazilian Grand Prix, ruining the Thai driver's chance of a first podium in the sport. Albon was running P2 when Hamilton sent an optimistic move up the inside in the middle sector, tapping Albon's rear right and sending him into a spin.

Albon eventually finished P14, and Hamilton lost a position to Pierre Gasly, and may lose even more if he is given a penalty for the crash.

He told Rubens Barrichello after the race: "Max did a great job - he was very fair the way he positioned the car. Massive apologies to Albon - the gap was there but it was completely my fault.
