Kobayashi apologises for crash

Sauber driver Kamui Kobayashi has apologised for his part in a collision with his pit crew during the British Grand Prix.

The Japanese racer was handed a €25,000 (£20,000) fine for knocking down three of his team's pit crew on lap 37 after braking too late, resulting in his car's front brakes locking as he stopped for a change of tyres.

The mechanics were all taken to the medical centre for checks but subsequently given the all-clear, and Kobayashi has said sorry for the incident.

"First of all the accident at the pit stop was my fault and I want to apologise to the team," he said.

"Of course I had to push hard for points, but without doubt I braked too late in the pit lane. The front wheels locked, I couldn't control the car, and this is how I overshot the pit box.

"I am terribly sorry this happened, and I hope the three mechanics I hit get well soon."

Kobayashi went on to finish 11th at Silverstone.
