Lewis Hamilton and Kevin Magnussen were involved in a late clash at the end of Azerbaijan GP practice - but what exactly happened?

Sky F1's Anthony Davidson is at the SkyPad to assess the moment the Mercedes and Haas cars went side-by-side on track before making mild contact on their in-laps, with Hamilton's wing bearing the brunt.

Davidson's fellow pundits were unsure why Magnussen did not let the oncoming Hamilton past.

"They were on laps. They were going slowly, just let him past," said Karun Chandhok.

"I don't get why Kevin seems to get himself involved in trouble a lot in a free practice session when it really doesn't matter."

Paul Di Resta added: "I think he's taken it a little too far in practice."

While relatively minor in comparison, the Hamilton-Magnussen clash was certainly not the only collision around the Baku City Circuit on a very eventful Friday...
