Initial reactions tell the story. LH was pissed, throwing his steering wheel, and NR kinda gives an "aww shucks" swing with his arm.

That debrief had to be pure rage!

Will be very curious to see how the team handles it. They keep refusing to name a #1 driver so no reason to believe it won't happen again.
It's a real shame. At first I also tended to blame LH, but after seeing it a few times and seeing a post-race analysis, I further blame NR. Yes, he didn't expect LH to be there so quickly, but knowing he made a mistake, he SHOULD have expected LH there. He gave him no room, and thus, AGAIN, proved that he is unable to do wheel to wheel racing.
