Verstappen discharged from hospital

Max Verstappen has been released from hospital after being given the all-clear following his crash in the British GP in a collision with Lewis Hamilton, Sky Sports reported.

After hitting the Silverstone barriers in an impact that measured 51G on the opening lap of Sunday's race, the Red Bull driver walked away from the incident and was checked over in the circuit medical centre.

He was then taken to Coventry hospital for further assessment and was released on Sunday night.

"We are pleased to confirm that Max was released from hospital at 22:00 this evening, following a thorough medical examination, without any major injuries," said a Red Bull statement.

Posting a selfie in which he was smiling next to his father, Jos, Verstappen tweeted: "Cleared from the hospital after all the checks were ok. Thank you to everyone for all the nice messages and best wishes."

In an earlier post on social media, Verstappen had criticized Hamilton for the collision, describing the world champion's driving as "dangerous." He also claimed Hamilton had displayed "disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behaviour" in his celebrations after winning the race.
