    The fallout from the Qatar Grand Prix is rumbling on

    The fallout from the Qatar Grand Prix is rumbling on


    Red Bull admit they were 'clearly incorrect' to suggest Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli deliberately allowed McLaren's Lando Norris to overtake him late in the season's penultimate race.

    Red Bull added their regret at the online abuse the Mercedes driver has received since the controversial race which may have a decisive influence on the destination of the F1 drivers' title.

    Norris was in fifth place behind Antonelli towards the end of the race when the Italian slid wide and Norris overtook him for fourth place.

    That allowed the McLaren driver to stay 12 points in front of Red Bull's Max Verstappen ahead of the season finale this weekend in Abu Dhabi.
