Verstappen and Hamilton Collide at Silverstone
Max Verstappen's Championship Hopes Dented
The 2021 Formula 1 world championship battle took a dramatic turn at Silverstone when Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton collided on the opening lap. Verstappen, who had started from pole position, was leading the race when he was hit by Hamilton on the inside of Copse corner. The impact sent Verstappen's car spinning off the track and into the barriers, ending his race.
Verstappen was taken to the medical center for precautionary checks, while Hamilton was able to continue racing. However, the incident is likely to have a significant impact on the championship standings, with Verstappen now 18 points behind Hamilton.
The collision has been widely condemned by fans and pundits, who have accused Hamilton of dangerous driving. The stewards are currently investigating the incident and are expected to announce their findings later today.
