Lewis Hamilton has taken the blame for his Qatar GP start clash with Mercedes Formula 1 team-mate George Russell and said it was '100% my fault'.
Hamilton started third behind Russell and Red Bull's polesitter Max Verstappen and on his soft tyres he made a better getaway than the front-row starters on mediums. That initial grip advantage gave Hamilton the confidence and momentum to try and pass both cars around the outside of Turn 1, but he then turned in too early, leaving Russell with no room to avoid a collision.
I just obviously felt the tap from behind, but I don't think George probably had anywhere to go. 'It's just one of those really unfortunate situations, I'm happy to take responsibility. 'Everyone's working incredibly hard, so it's like massively gutting to have a result like this.
