Lewis Hamilton was accused of being "dangerous and disrespectful" in reviving his Formula One title defence by winning the British Grand Prix on Sunday after a first lap crash that left championship leader Max Verstappen complaining he had been "taken out".
Hamilton retorted after the race that he would "not be bullied".
Roared on by a crowd of more than 140,000, Hamilton attempted to overtake Verstappen on Copse corner on the first lap.
