    Your thoughts on Hamilton and Verstappen's crash

    TM: Verstappen the biggest hypocrite, moans about no space - did the same thing to Hamilton on lap 1. Moans about Hamilton being dangerous - lands on Hamilton's head and doesn't check he's OK.

    Bishop Yinkus: The excuses that Red Bull are making for Max Verstappen will not allow him to learn and make necessary adjustments his driver style.

    William Savage: Seriously though, Drive to Survive 2022 is going to be a cracking watch.

  4. 'Thank God no one was hurt'published at 16:22 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    Now to hear from Red Bull boss Christian Horner, who told Sky Sports: "Max had the momentum and Lewis gave him enough space in turn one but our opinion would be that he didn't give him enough in turn two.

    "Most important thing today is that the halo has done its job because it's an awkward accident, thank God no one was hurt.

    "I think Max had earned the right to be given more space to work with in turn two but I think you could look at this as a racing incident.

    "To portion blame to one side or the other, I think for this incident in particular that's very difficult to do.

    "We had a human error in the pit stop - unfortunately I think it was on the front right, the wheel was done but unfortunately the car wasn't released. I don't think the slow stop effected his judgement at all."

    "A tactical foul." Strong words from Toto Wolff and it's a very similar post-race situation to Silverstone when Red Bull boss Christian Horner implied that Lewis Hamilton had put Max Verstappen into hospital because of dangerous driving.

    No love lost between the two drivers, nor the two bosses. Here's Christian Horner's response to Wolff's comments...

  6. 'It was like a tactical foul'published at 16:19 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, speaking to Sky Sports: "The stewards will decide who is to blame. In football you would call it a tactical foul. He knew that if Lewis stays ahead, then that is the race win.

    "I don't want to be a punter like some of my colleagues like to be.

    "When you look at Turn 4 earlier in the race, [Lewis] backed out of it, but it was clear for Max [before the incident] it would end up in a crash. I'm sure the stewards will look at this properly but incidents like this will continue.

    "Maybe it will have to be another high speed crash and end up with someone on top of someone's head again [for things to change]."

  7. 'Hamilton kept squeezing me'published at 16:15 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    Max Verstappen, speaking to Sky Sports: "We knew it would be tight. I went around the outside and he kept on squeezing me. I just wanted to race.

    "People will start to talk about Silverstone [when they also crashed] but I didn't expect him to keep on squeezing and squeezing because we still would've had a car's width out of Turn Two. I don't know why he kept pushing wider and wider.

    "You need two people to work together to make the corner but unfortunately, we touched. If one guy is not willing to work, it is not going to happen.

    "It's very unfortunate what happened today but I think we our professional enough to step over it. I think for sure we can talk about it."

  8. 'He didn't want to give way'published at 16:11 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    Lewis Hamilton speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm a little bit stiff and sore on my neck because it [Max's tyre] landed on my head but I'll be OK. I was racing as hard as I could and I was in the lead, as the team told me with the timings, so they pitted me.

    "The stop was slow and I lost a couple of seconds - I came out, saw Daniel [it was Norris] come past, Max was coming and I made sure to leave a car's width on the outside.

    "I was ahead into turn one, turned into turn two and then Max was on top of me.

    "It's exactly the same scenario that happened at turn four where I was in the same position as Max and I gave way, that's racing - this time he didn't want to give way.

    "He knew what was going to happen but he didn't back out - I don't know what else to say."

    Your thoughts on the Hamilton and Verstappen crash

    Bob McFeil: There were only two options for Max by the time they arrived at turn 2 - crash into HAM or go onto the kerbs. He did that and so it’s not his fault for the crash. HAM should have left space.

    Edd Graham-Hyde: It looked like Lewis Hamilton was still trying to drive out of being under Max Verstappen's car whilst he was climbing out of it? Glad they’re both OK, but that’s surely something to consider for safety.

    Charlie Drip Drip: Verstappen has got learn how to drive safely. He doesn’t have to overtake at the first opportunity every single time. Wreckless.

  11. 'I told the team I would get a podium'published at 16:00 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas, who started at the back of the grid but finished third: "Starting from the back is never easy.

    "I told the team I was going to be on the podium today. I'm glad we got more points than Red Bull today. We maximised from we we started and it was a shame the crash between Max and Lewis. It was fine today.

    "It has been a strong weekend from my side and the pace has been good. It will be nice to have one week of rest and go again."

  12. 'A pretty awesome weekend'published at 15:56 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

  13. 'This is for team papaya'published at 15:51 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    Race winner Daniel Ricciardo, who celebrates his maiden victory for McLaren: "Can I swear? I want to swear! about... time.

    "It worked well for me yesterday but it was never a guarantee we would lead the whole race. I was able to hold firm out front. I don't think we had mega speed but it was enough to keep Max behind.

    "To lead, literally, from start to finish, I don't think any of us expected that. There was something in me on Friday. I knew something was good was going to come.

    "I have just been sandbagging the whole year! Third, fourth, fifth - you might as well just win! That's what I did. The August break was good just to reset.

    "For McLaren to be on the podium is good but a one-two? This is for team papaya."

  16. Shoey, shoey, shoeypublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 12 September 2021

    As is tradition, Daniel Ricciardo, in actions that would make students think 'even that's a bit too much for us', takes off his race boot - yes, the very same one he's been wearing for at least the past four hours - fills it with champagne and drinks from it.

    He's not the only one to do so. Lando Norris has some and really, really does not enjoy it.

    Team boss Zac Brown also has some champagne from the Ricciardo boot. We don't have a race next week so that's good news in case they all get a stomach bug in the next seven days.
