Formula One stewards dismissed Red Bull's petition for a review into the collision that took place between their championship-leading driver Max Verstappen and Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton on the opening lap of this month's British Grand Prix.
The pair made contact as Hamilton tried to pass Verstappen for the lead, sending the Dutchman to hospital for precautionary checks after a 51G shunt into the barriers.Hamilton was handed a 10-second time penalty but went on to chalk up a record-extending eighth win on home soil and slash his deficit to Verstappen in the overall standings to eight points from 33.
GPS data showing the line Hamilton drove while pulling off a similar but successful race-winning move on Ferrari's Charles Leclerc into the same corner later on was included, as were lap simulations of the incident. Stewards said this information wasn't"discovered" but"created" based on information that was already available to Red Bull at the time of the original decision.They also noted"with some concern" allegations made by Red Bull in their letter requesting the review. The allegations weren't made public. The Stewards chose not to comment on them, with the petition having been dismissed.
