The incident caused Lewis to retire from the race. Immediately after their collision, Lewis said he got ‘taken out by his own team-mate’, while George said his team-mate “wasn’t even looking behind”. Afterwards, Lewis said the incident was not George’s fault.
While the incident will not be investigated by the stewards, Lewis will face an investigation after the race, for crossing the track on foot after his retirement.
