Hamilton attempted to overtake Verstappen on Copse corner on the first lap but cars touched and the Dutchman's Red Bull careened off the track and into the barrier. Hamilton won the race while Verstappen was taken to hospital.Â
Glad I'm ok. Very disappointed with being taken out like this. The penalty given does not help us and doesn't do justice to the dangerous move Lewis made on track. Watching the celebrations while still in hospital is disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behavior but we move on pic.twitter.com/iCrgyYWYkm
