In a situation similar to the Spanish Grand Prix, Red Bull's Max Verstappen battled to keep Kimi Raikkonen from passing him, but they did collide on lap 57

One of the highlights of the Hungarian Grand Prix was the battle between the oldest and youngest drivers on the grid in Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen.

The pair made contact as they fought for fifth place as their Red Bull and Ferrari cars clashed.

Raikkonen was unhappy with the 18-year-old - accusing his rival over team radio of making a double move when defending fifth place: "I've seen people penalised for much less," said Raikkonen.

Verstappen, however, maintains he did nothing wrong.

"I think everything was fair. I only moved once. He locked up and hit the rear of my car, or my tyre I don't know. That can happen. I was just doing my race," said the Red Bull driver.

"It would be very strange if I would get penalised I think. I could see him coming, he was very optimistic to dive into the inside so I went to the inside and he had to break - he locked up and hit the rear of my car, or my tyre I don't know. That can happen.

"I was just doing my race."
