Ross Brawn felt robbed after Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s first-lap crash in Silverstone, and hopes there is no repeat.
The title contenders came to blows at Copse on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix, with Verstappen hitting the barriers hard after tagging the front-left tyre of Hamilton’s Mercedes.
Tempers flared somewhat in the aftermath as Verstappen went to hospital for precautionary checks, with Red Bull boss Christian Horner calling the win which Hamilton went on to secure “hollow“.
Red Bull’s driver programme chief Helmut Marko called for a one-race ban for Hamilton, while Max’s father Jos Verstappen felt the Briton should have been disqualified from the race.
Brawn: I hope we can avoid those incidents in the future
