Lewis Hamilton's crash with George Russell on the first lap of the Qatar Grand Prix was a rare and costly mistake for the seven-time world champion.
In a scene reminiscent of his infamous clash with Nico Rosberg in Barcelona in 2016, the Briton initially blamed his Mercedes teammate for their run-in, which Russell fortunately survived.
During his solitary journey back to the pits, Hamilton likely contemplated not only what could have been, but also how the incident would potentially impact his relationship with Russell.
But in the aftermath of the fracas, Hamilton took full responsibility for the crash and apologized to Russell and to his team, a gesture that underlined once again his honesty and integrity, but also his respect for his teammate.
