Lauda: Verstappen more at fault for Red Bull crash

Mercedes chairman Niki Lauda has laid more of the blame at the feet of Max Verstappen for his part in the inter-team crash between the Red Bull drivers. In the latter stages of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Verstappen was hit from behind by teammate Daniel Ricciardo, putting both cars out of the race.

It was an incident that was seemingly in the making from the get-go. Both Red Bull's were giving no quarter to one another throughout the race, and when the two finally did come to blows it was Verstappen who was at fault more, at least according to Lauda.

He went on to discuss how he would deal with such a scenario between the two Mercedes drivers if such an incident was to occur.
