Valtteri Bottas doesn't believe Kimi Raikkonen deliberately crashed into Lewis Hamilton at the British Grand Prix. Raikkonen and Hamilton touched at turn three which resulted in the British driver spinning down to 18th place.
After the race, Hamilton blamed the Ferrari drivers for having "interesting tactics" during the race. Two weeks earlier Sebastian Vettel crashed into Bottas which ruined both of their races.
Ferrari now have 20 point lead over the Silver Arrows while Lewis Hamilton's championship deficit increased. The Finn didn't have the same views as his team-mate.
"I can't say there are any concerns. I think we are always starting more or less in a similar position, so we are always going to be battling," Bottas told GP fans.
"Sometimes you get hit, and normally you tend to do so with cars that are not in the same team as you. You are fighting hard and this can happen. It's only a couple of incidents. Of course, it's been always pretty bad for us."

One thing is for sure, if the pair start side by side at the German Grand Prix, the first corner is going to be unmissable. What are your views on the incident?
