Max Verstappen health update: F1 doctor speaks out after Lewis Hamilton collision
FIA Formula 1 Medical Rescue Coordinator Dr Ian Roberts has confirmed that Max Verstappen suffered “no other injuries” apart from being winded from the heavy crash he sustained at the British Grand Prix. Verstappen was trying to fend off Hamilton on the opening lap of the race with the pair going wheel-to-wheel on several occasions.
But the championship rivals made contact at Copse as Hamilton attempted to dive up the inside, sending Verstappen into the gravel pit before crashing at high speed into the tyre barrier.
Verstappen needed some help to get out of the car with the race suspended as he received medical attention.
The Dutchman was able to walk away from the scene of the crash and into the back of an ambulance before being taken off to hospital for some check ups.
It was not immediately clear whether Verstappen had sustained any serious injuries other than being winded from the heavy collision.
