Top two championship contenders’ Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton collision at Silverstone on last weekend – the subject has been spreading more debates in F1 world.
Freshly F1 pundit Martin Brundle has revealed Red Bull have proof that Hamilton entered Copse corner on lap one significantly faster than any other time in the race.
Both Mercedes and Red Bull fans and supporters expressing comments to protecting their drivers. The collision widely affects the Championship leader Verstappen, who crashed into a massive 51G impact on the tyre barriers and a total damage for his RB16B.
“Red Bull felt it was a professional foul, an intentional accident from Hamilton,” Brundle wrote in his post-race Sky Sports F1 column.
“They were incandescent, their potential world champion was bruised, their car expensively wrecked in this new cost cap era, and with possible grid penalties to come from any engine and ancillary damage.
“They would score zero points from the race and both championship leads would be seriously eroded. I am told by Red Bull there is data to prove Lewis was significantly faster into Copse than at any other time and he would not have made the corner without running wide, and inevitably contacting Max.
“Presumably, that will be made publicly available and if Red Bull feel they have ‘new evidence’ they may well make an appeal to the FIA as to their perceived degree of fault and leniency regarding Hamilton.”

Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner said after Hamilton’s win: “If you put a driver in hospital and you still win the GP, even with the penalty, it doesn’t feel like a penalty,”
Red Bull has 14 days to submit a letter of purpose for the right to reassess to the FIA, according to Motorsport-magazin.com. If they decide to do so, the stewards of the race in question must first rule on whether the evidence presented is important and new. If so, the case will be revived.
