The title fight in the second half of the season was always going to be exciting, but nobody saw coming. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are both out of the Italian GP after the two drivers collided.
Red Bull Racing's slow pitstop put Verstappen further back in the field than he would have liked. After Hamilton's pitstop the Briton ended up right next to the Dutchman. Things went wrong between the two and they crashed together. The cars were completely stuck together.
Will someone get a penalty?
Immediately came the news that the two drivers must report to the FIA stewards because of the incident. Verstappen already sounded angry over the team radio, because Hamilton didn't leave enough space according to him. Will this incident get a tail?
