The Official Spanish Grand Prix Thread

But having watched the incident again in the days after the Spanish race, Magnussen said that he now believed Hamilton was completely innocent.

Instead, he thinks it was just unfortunate circumstances, as he said with hindsight he wished he had left the seven-time world champion a bit more space.

Speaking about the clash ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, Magnussen said: “I had a chance to look at it and of course I changed my view on that.

“I had the feeling when I was on the track that he opened the steering. But that's not what happened. He just got in the slipstream of the Ferrari, and understeered a tiny bit.

“I was super close to him. I didn't give him much room for error, I gave no margin. So we touched. It was unfortunate.”
