Lewis Hamilton has blamed Max Verstappen for the crash that occurred at the Italian Grand Prix. The incident occurred after Hamilton left the pit lane, with Verstappen competing with him for position. I came out, I saw Max was coming, I left a car’s width, was ahead going into turn one, ahead in turn two, then he’s on top of me. He knew going into turn two what was going to happen, going over the kerb, but he still did it. He realised I was going for it, he kept on squeezing me, I wanted to race. I didn’t expect him to keep on squeezing, if he’d given me a car width we would have raced out of turn two.
