Im sure he’ll be slightly more careful next time but so will Lewis.
Albon was on quicker tyres in a Red Bull with pace against a wounded Merc - he'd have had a slipstream from Ham and DRS. Ham was a sitting duck. However, his car would probably have stopped a few minutes later ..

Albon accelerated out of the corner and drove his rear right into Hamilton’s front left, which some have argued as “Albon initiated the contact”.
What were the other possibilities at that point? He could have backed out, at which point his right rear would have tangled with Hamilton’s right rear. Or he could have held station until Hamilton smacked into the side of him. Or he could’ve driven off the circuit.
It’s clear from the overhead footage that Hamilton didn’t - and couldn’t, he was at full lock - leave Albon any racing room on the outside of the corner.

Either way, Lewis was nowhere near far enough past Albon at the point of contact to be allowed to crowd him off the track. He had to leave him more space.

How ironic is that, he gets a penalty for hitting the bloke who never finished the race anyway!
More concerning is they also didn't even investigate the obviously unsafe release of Perez, never mind penalise it. Obviously there aren't as many people in the pitlane at the moment but they seriously shouldn't be encouraging teams & drivers to have full-chat pit releases into oncoming cars...

Even Ham said the yellow flag penalty was justified.
