Max Verstappen what happened at that restart after the Virtual Safety Car went away when the Dutchman accelerated past Lance Stroll but touched his Williams, breaking his front wing.
The Red Bull driver explained that Stroll made a sudden movement he hadn't anticipated.
"I was as close as possible on Lance right before the VSC went away," he explained to Motorsport.com.
"He hit his brakes and I touched him with my front wing and I lost a piece of it.
"The damage was limited and luckily I could continue, but at first I was scared that it would cause me problems."
