Antonelli on emotions after crash with Verstappen: 'I wasn't trying to make excuses'

Antonelli was asked about the crash with Verstappen a week earlier in the presence of GPblog. "

"Obviously, taking him out, of course, was not on purpose. I was just trying to save the situation and then ended up hitting him. And, of course, I felt very sorry because, first of all, it was bad for me because I scored zero points and then obviously ended his race as well," the young Italian concluded on the question. Antonelli has received a grid penalty for the action on Verstappen in Spielberg at the Red Bull Ring.

The stewards decided that Antonelli was given a three-place grid penalty for the next race he participated in. That will be for the British Grand Prix. If the Mercedes driver puts his car in pole position, he will, therefore, start in fourth place because of the grid penalty. Juan Pablo Montoya did not understand why Verstappen remained so calm after the crash with Antonelli. "If you want to read between the lines, why was Verstappen so nice to Antonelli after the crash? Are they already teammates?"
