The pair then accelerated onto the pit straight, where Hamilton began his flier and Verstappen finished his before the Red Bull then outdragged and overtook the Mercedes approaching the first corner.

Toto Wolff:"Yeah so I think the mistake happened on our side – communication between us and Lewis, didn't give him the right information to get out of Max's way. And I think no one wants to be in anybody's way because if you impede, you're getting penalised. So, that was not the aim. Then, at no stage in sprint qualifying did the FIA timing and information system announce that their driving had been noted by race control and so sent on to the stewards to assess whether it warranted a full investigation.
