A fresh angle of the late-race collision between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian Grand Prix has emerged.

The pair collided at turn one as Verstappen looked to overtake Hamilton for third place.

But Verstappen's Red Bull locked up and he clipped the front right tyre of the Mercedes, briefly launching him into the air.

The reigning Drivers' Champion was able to finish the race, but dropped down to fifth.

New footage of the collision, published by Sky Sports, has emerged from F1's 360-degree angle camera - and it appears to tell the story.

The angle from Hamilton's car shows how the seven-time world champion put his car in a position to take the corner prior to Verstappen's arrival on the scene - although there appears to be no evidence that he changed his steering angle from this line at any point in the braking zone.

Verstappen, meanwhile, attempts to take the corner down the inside but the lock-up impacts his ability to do so.

You can see the angle below.

The angles line up with what stewards agreed on the incident, as they deemed that neither driver was at fault for the collision. It was described it as a 'racing incident'.

A document outlining their reasoning reads: "It was clear that Car 1 locked up both front wheels on the approach to turn one prior to any impact occurring but missing the normal cornering line for a typical overtaking manoeuvre.

"The driver of Car 44 stated that this was a racing incident, whilst the driver of Car 1 argued that this was a case of changing direction under braking.

"The Stewards do not consider this to be a typical case of 'changing direction under braking', although it is our determination that the driver of Car 44 could have done more to avoid the collision."

They added that 'no driver was predominantly to blame', hence the decision to take no further action.

Hamilton finished third on track, with Verstappen dropping behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc as a result of the collision.

The Dutchman still leads the Drivers' Championship by 76 points ahead of Lando Norris.
