The incident with Antonelli came moments after Hamilton expressed frustration with his lack of pace in the early stages of FP1 in Austria, telling his race engineer Riccardo Adami: “For some reason I’ve just got no pace, mate.”
Hamilton eventually ended the session in 10th place, one spot ahead of Antonelli and a massive 0.931 seconds slower than the pace-setting McLaren of Lando Norris.
