Video: Kimi Raikkonen and Valtteri Bottas collide on Lap 1 in the 2017 Azerbaijan GP. Bottas tried to maintain position, sticking to the inside line, but bounced over the kerb, sending him into Kimi.

Scuderia Ferrari Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen put the blame squarely on compatriot Valtteri Bottas for their collision on the opening lap of Formula 1’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The accident occurred when Kimi tried to pass second-placed Bottas round the outside of Turn 2, after the Mercedes man had suffered wheelspin heading out of the first corner.

Bottas tried to maintain position, sticking to the inside line, but he bounced over the kerb, sending him into the 2007 Formula 1 world champion, and that led to the Ferrari making contact with the wall.
