"We're all coming into Turn 1 on the restart, and I just got smoked from my left, put a hole in my floor as well," said Lawson who was interrupted in the middle of his Sky interview by Lindblad who apologised off camera for the indisgression.
Over the radio during the hit, Lawson could be heard saying "I love getting taken out by my teammate, that's pretty sick".
