WATCH: Albon's heartbreaking clash with Hamilton – in 360 degrees
Share
When Alex Albon ended up in the gravel after attempting to pass Lewis Hamilton at Turn 4, 10 laps from the end of the Austrian Grand Prix, the Red Bull racer must have been feeling a frustrating sense of of deja-vu after he missed out on a podium just two races earlier at Interlagos – also after a tangle with Hamilton.
In the video above, we have 360-degree footage of Albon's clash with the reigning world champion that cost the Thai racer a maiden podium, showing the exact moment his hopes of a third-place finish slipped away, with gravel spraying across the nose of his RB16 car.

Team principal Christian Horner was livid as he called for Hamilton to apologise for costing his driver a podium, while Albon compared the incident to his Brazilian Grand Prix clash with Hamilton that also denied him a chance at the rostrum.
Hamilton, who received a five-second penalty and consequently lost P3 to McLaren driver Lando Norris, said it "felt like a racing incident", but accepted the penalty.
