#F1: Red Bull chief orders #Perth’s Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen to apologise after crash in #AzerbaijanGP
Furious Red Bull boss Christian Horner has demanded that Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo apologise in person to the team’s 800 staff after the teammates’ refusal to back off led to their crash on lap 40 of the Azerbaijan Formula One Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton won the race after the unlucky Valtteri Bottas suffered a puncture three laps from the finish, but the Red Bull drama was just as gripping, despite it not involving a spot on the podium.
Verstappen and Ricciardo had been at each other’s throats for much of the race on the streets of Baku, and their high-speed collision with 11 laps remaining appeared almost inevitable.
On the longest and fastest straight on the Formula One calendar, Ricciardo lined up his overtake in the battle for fourth.
But as Verstappen moved to his left to cover off his team-mate, Ricciardo was left with little room for manoeuvre and thudded into the back of him. In an instant, both cars were wiped out of the race.

Western Derby 47: Slick Eagles outpoint Dockers to win first clash at Optus Stadium by eight points
After a very West Australian week – bickering over the name on the medal for best afield, West Coast and Fremantle played each other to a standstill at Optus Stadium yesterday and two South Australians shared the last Glendinning Medal.
West Coast did not so much out-last Fremantle as out-clean them. The Eagles’ 13.11 (89) to 12.9 (81) win was the result of slicker ball movement, cleaner ball handling.
Their captain Shannon Hurn won his second his second Glendinning Medal in as many derbies, his 30 disposals off half back intercepting countless Fremantle attacks. When you threw in Jeremy McGovern alongside him, the Dockers were cut off at the pass.
Fremantle’s own derby specialist Lachie Neale had 35 disposals including 16 in contests. When Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe could not quite impose himself on after half-time thanks to the efforts of Elliot Yeo, Neale was Fremantle’s driver and the one that kept them coming.
This was a hell of a match to mark one hell of an occasion in front of one hell of a crowd.
