SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Lewis Hamilton has admitted he was wrong to criticise Sergey Sirotkin, who he labelled "disrespectful" after an incident in qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Hamilton claimed pole position for Sunday's race at Interlagos but was involved in a controversial incident at the beginning of Q2. He and Sirotkin had nearly collided when the Williams driver approached his car at speed on the run up to the hill at Juncao, with Hamilton moving over and forcing the Russian onto the grass.
