“I came around Turn 13 and George looked like he was going into the pit lane. So I kept it going, and then suddenly, he cut back across, which was obviously a bit confusing.
“I didn’t even know he was there. I think he had bailed out his first lap or something like that.
“So then I was towing him, just in case he was giving me a tow, and he started to move to the right, so I was like, ‘oh, he is giving me a tow’. So I went to the left and started coming back across.
“So, just a misunderstanding,” Hamilton concluded.
