We're hearing Max Verstappen is still having a medical check. He walked away from the car after going into the barrier at a frightening pace.

Valtteri Bottas had the best view in the house of the incident...

I see the penalty for Hamilton - if he gets one - of more than five seconds, based on what we have seen the last few years.

Red Bull can't be chuffed with that because Hamilton is still favourite to win the race, with a five second penalty.

Unless they are going to give him a stop-go or drive through penalty and exclude him from the race, then all the arguments for and against are going to be fairly irrelevant really.

1. Leclerc
2. Hamilton

OUT: Verstappen

Alex Withington: Just spoke to Nige and he says it's a racing incident. Nige is our neighbour, by the way.

J Jones: I wonder if Toto Wolff still signed off his email to Michael Masi with “kind regards”?

Amit Mandalia: I know the award is for ‘Driver of the Day’ but can we get some kind of award for Michael Masi today for the brilliant sass to Toto???

Objectively, Christian Horner is wrong to say Hamilton was "never anywhere near alongside". He clearly was. That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that the stewards will not find him guilty of causing a collision.

If you need a loo break, or to grab a drink or an ice cream, now's the time to do so. We go again in six minutes.

James Beswick: Small point, but what a clever decision it was for Hamilton *NOT* to pit under the safety car when he would've been forced to the back of the grid. Predicting a red flag?

Adam Kitchiner: From some angles, looked like Hamilton straightened up to force Verstappen off.

Joe Baker: Racing incident for me, no fingers should be pointed (can already see people blaming Hamilton) Both drivers pushing hard at high speed with inches between them, always a risk things like this happen. Don't always have to apportion blame.

Toto Wolff has just come back down from seeing the stewards and he is striding into the pit lane.

That will be interesting...

This is the hardest championship Lewis Hamilton has had to fight - probably since 2007 or 2008.

This one? It's maybe even harder than those two for Lewis.

Red Bull, with Max Verstappen, who is serious talent, are taking the fight to Mercedes.

This is just getting better!

"Mate, I'm not looking at my emails, I'm working!"

Wolff: "Michael, this is Toto..."

Masi: "Yes Toto, go on..."

Wolff: "Michael we have sent you an email with the diagrams where the cars should be. Did you receive them?"

Masi: "Toto, I don't access my emails during the race so I can concentrate on the race."

Wolff: "Well, you should look at this because there is something with the rules coming up."

Masi: "OK Toto, feel free to go upstairs and see the stewards directly."

While the Hamilton-Verstappen fall out is obviously dominating the story, Ferrari had snuck themselves into the lead with Charles Leclerc moving up from fourth to first.

Ferrari have not won an F1 race since September 2019 when Sebastian Vettel triumphed at the Singapore Grand Prix.

When we restart, it's with a Ferrari man in the front.

Kris Jefferson: Hamilton gave Verstappen room earlier in the lap and avoided contact, Verstappen didn’t and paid for it

Nathan Marzan: Its 50/50 whether Hamilton should get a Penalty. But no mention at all of Verstappen's driving up until that point which was questionable at best.

Michael Masi is getting it from all angles. Now we've got Mercedes boss Toto Wolff at him, telling him Mercedes' side of the story.

The stewards are going to be very, very busy. It could decide the winner of this race, later on.

This is an afternoon to get very, very comfortable. We're going to be here for a long time.

We're meant to get racing again in 15 minutes and we've got 52 laps, but only three done so far.

Some more from Red Bull boss Christian Horner, who is furious at that incident which has left Max Verstappen out of the race.

He tells Channel 4 that Hamilton was "completely out of order to stick a wheel up the inside".

He adds: "Everyone who's driven that corner knows you don't stick a wheel up the inside at Copse. He's put him in the fence. Thank god he's not been hurt. It was a desperate move.

"You do not stick a wheel up at Copse, one of the fastest corners in the world. That's just dirty driving.

"It's now with stewards and we hope they deal with it appropriately."

Ferrari: 1. Leclerc, 8. Sainz.

Mercedes: 2. Hamilton, 3. Bottas.

McLaren: 4. Norris, 5. Ricciardo.

Aston Martin: 6. Vettel, 11 Stroll.

Alpine: 7. Alonso, 10. Ocon.

Alfa Romeo: 9. Raikkonen, 13. Giovinazzi.

Alpha Tauri: 12. Gasly, 15. Tsunoda.

Williams: 14. Russell, 17. Tsunoda.

Haas: 16. Schumacher, 18. Mazepin.

Red Bull: 19. Perez, Out. Verstappen.

Red Bull are 44 points clear at the top of the constructors' championship, hard to see how it could get any worse for them.

Horner: "Michael, have you got a minute?"

Masi: "Yes"

Horner: Look Michael, that corner, he was never anywhere near alongside.

"Every driver who has driven at this circuit knows that you do not stick a wheel up the inside of Copse. That's an enormous accident - and it was 100% Max's corner.

"As far as I'm concerned, full blame is on Hamilton - who should never have been in that position. Thank god he has walked away unscathed. I hope you are going to deal with this appropriately."

Masi: Understood Christian, that's why it's under investigation by the stewards."

Hamilton blaming Verstappen and now we're hearing some very, very strong words from Red Bull team boss Christian Horner blaming Hamilton for the incident.
