The Austrian Grand Prix of Formula 1 witnessed a dramatic collision between Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen in the opening lap, leading both drivers to retire from the race. The incident occurred as Antonelli locked his rear tires while trying to avoid Liam Lawson, resulting in a fateful touch with Verstappen. Despite Antonelli taking responsibility and apologizing to Verstappen, the Dutch driver showed understanding, acknowledging it as a learning experience common among racers.

Toto Wolff, the renowned Mercedes team principal, came to Antonelli’s defense, highlighting that such mistakes are inherent in Formula 1 and have even plagued the best drivers in the sport. Wolff stressed the importance of scrutinizing the collision while offering support to the young Italian driver, stating, “These errors happen… It’s a pity for Max and Red Bull that Kimi hit him, but that’s racing.”

Wolff further expressed, “He said the tires locked, and we need to analyze that. There is no room for errors in our business… It’s a pity that Max… or that we took another car with us. But that can happen. It has happened to the great, the inexperienced, and the experienced. It’s part of Formula 1.”
