Tit for tat, and Lewis does the same in Spain.

Both apologise to each other.

The mistake in Monaco was probably not the issue, but reversing up while your teammate is right behind isn't really very sporting.

Still, it adds to the flair.
Nico reversed back when the yellows were already out and reverse was the only way to rejoin the track, which is vital as this years rules say that you have to bring the car back unless you have a mechanical, which he hadn't. He would have risked a penalty by parking a perfectly healthy car and the yellows stay out as long as a car is in the escape road anyway.
