Verstappen took to Twitter himself after the race, stating that Hamilton had put an end to his afternoon by making a ‘dangerous move’.
The 23-year-old was sent to hospital after being severely winded by the 51G crash, although he walked away from the scene and was later discharged.
The Red Bull team were distraught at what they felt was a malicious move from the seven-time champion, with team advisor Helmut Marko calling for a one-race suspension for the Brit.
Team boss Christian Horner claimed Hamilton could only enjoy a ‘hollow victory’ at Silverstone, while Verstappen’s father, Jos, believes that the Englishman should have been disqualified.
