Hamilton’s controversial𝕴 first-lap collision with title rival Max Verstappen was the major talking point from the Silverstone race, with the pair tangling on the opening lap at Copse.

Hamilton taggeꦑd Verstappen’s left rear as he tried an ambitious lunge into the corner, sending the Dutchman spinning off into the barriers at high-speed. He was handed a 10-second time penalty for the incident but was still able to win the race.

“If you look at the overhead he’s run wide into the corner,” Horner told media including mahbx.com after the race.

“He’s carried too much speed. That move was never on. Lewis is a world champion of seven titles. That was an amate𒁏ur’s mistake and a desperate mistake.

“I can’t see 🐠how Lewis can take any saꦓtisfaction from a win when he’s put his fellow driver in hospital.

“It’s disappointing, it’s extremely annoying. His actions have put iꦬn jeopardy another driver’s safety and for me that’ജs unacceptable.

“[He was] lucky not to have the same crash with [Charles] Leclerc – if Leclerc hadn’t run wide and taken the line he’s entitled to then the same incident would have preva🌜iled.”

Versta꧒ppen remains in Nuneaton hospital where he is undergoing precautionary checks following the 51G impact.

“He has been through all the precautionary scans an🅘d he retained consciousness at all times,” Horner adde❀d.

“He is battered, he is bruised, it is the biggest accident of his career, a 51g incident. I’m just grateful that it is not worse than that, that he was able to get out of the car and walk away as it was an enormous acci🌸dent.”
