Max Verstappen was a first-lap casualty at the Austrian Grand Prix after a collision with Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli.

Antonelli hit the brakes too late heading into turn three, locked up and smashed into the side of Verstappen. It caused the formidable Dutch driver to spin off the track and condemned him to his first retirement of the season.

Understandably frustrated, Verstappen reacted on the team radio by saying: "I'm out, I got hit like crazy. ******* idiots." Antonelli, still in his first-ever Formula One season, was quick to apologise on his team radio, and the Italian went over to Verstappen to explain what happened when the pair exited their vehicles.
