The two drivers made contact after Russell tried to overtake Bottas at Tamburello Chicane, resulting in both cars running into the gravel. The incident brought out red flags to clear debris from the track. The crash severely damaged the Mercedes car, while the Williams driver spewed profanities on the radio as he got out of his own.
The stewards ruled the investigation in favor of Bottas, saying "at no time did either car maneuver erratically," and stating there was more than a car’s width of room left for Russell to avoid contact.
According to Bottas, the crash was Russell's fault. The Williams driver did not accept blame for the incident. Unfriendly exchanges between the two caused some dramatic off-track media sessions.
