Lewis Hamilton has apologised to his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc after failing to give eighth place back to the Monegasque on the final lap of the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Ferrari's plan was simple: with 10 laps remaining, Leclerc was ordered to let Hamilton past to chase down Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson. With the Briton on fresher tyres, he was the more likely driver to succeed in making a move. But when this plan didn't yield an overtake, the drivers were instructed to reverse their positions, putting Leclerc back in eighth.
