Formula 1 British GP: Posting a selfie in which he was smiling next to his father, Jos, Verstappen offered his fans some relief, writing, “Cleared from the hospital after all the checks were ok. Thank you to everyone for all the nice messages and best wishes.” The Red Bull ace had earlier hit out Lewis Hamilton for “disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behaviour” following the events at Silverstone.
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
