Red flag, by the way. Think this collision was a moment that's been brewing for a long time. Both with some blame for that incident. Verstappen wouldn't yield, and Hamilton could have given more room. #F1 #BritishGP

Hope @Max33Verstappen is OK after that scary ride… Seems Lewis missed the corner abit - good racing til that point!

What an accident. Hamilton seems not following inside race line and Verstappen follows his line. If stewards see that Hamilton goes long without following his line will be penalized. Copse is a high speed corner.

Classic racing incident. Two uncompromising drivers flat out. Should be “no further action”

I have to say, I think both were a bit too aggressive for my liking

51G for impact seen from behind the fence. So much energy dissipated so quickly. #F1 pic.twitter.com/udMam244Sf

Based on the decision wording, seeing the multiple ex-driver comments and varying opinions, all the replays and the Leclerc incident, I think I just about agree with the penalty and the size of it. Hamilton wasn't wholly at fault, but he was predominantly. #F1 #BritishGP
