This weekend saw the Formula One Grand Prix travel to Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, which has only been part of the F1 calendar since 2016, and this year's GP saw plenty of drama, from untimely punctures, to teammates crashing.

Lewis Hamilton claimed an all important first victory of 2018, after Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, who looked set to win, collided with a piece of debris and was forced to retire early.

Although, it is the calamitous crash between teammates that is grabbing the headlines.

Red Bull teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen collided mid-race, resulting in Red Bull's second double DNF in three races, something that is uncharacteristic for the F1 team.

Although, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has said the prospect of the two drivers colliding was discussed in length pre-race in Azerbaijan, which makes it look even worse on both Ricciardo and Verstappen.

"We've discussed it at length on many, many occasions," Horner said.

"We even discussed it in the morning [of the race], that we wanted to avoid a repeat of Force India's scenario from last year, and that we would allow them to race, but please allow each other space.

"Unfortunately, that hasn't happened. Our drivers have been racing hard, on the limit, but in our mind fairly, but then unfortunately this incident has happened."

Horner has also said they will continue to discuss the incident prior to next weekend's Barcelona Grand Prix, saying they still wish to allow the drivers to race, and that both drivers are equally to blame, whilst adding it is unacceptable for teammates to be colliding.

"The most important thing is that they both recognise that what has happened is unacceptable," Horner added.

He went on to dismiss Niki Lauda's comments that the drivers would have been asked to pay for the damage to the cars had the incident occurred within Mercedes.

"Niki's perhaps more financially orientated than others," he said.

The racers need to remember F1 is a team sport, and they need to drive like it.
