SILVERSTONE, U.K -- Sebastian Vettel took full responsibility for his collision with Max Verstappen in the closing stages of the British Grand Prix.
Vettel clumsily slammed into the back of the Red Bull driver at the penultimate corner, shortly after he had been overtaken for third position down the Hangar Straight. Verstappen was defending position on the left-hand side and Vettel appeared to be caught in two minds about which way he should go.
The four-time world champion locked up his brakes but was unable to avoid Verstappen's car. Both drivers continued on, with Verstappen recovering to fifth position, but it relegated Vettel to the back of the order -- he was hit with a 10-second time penalty for good measure at the end of the race.
