After the nasty crash Max Verstappen had to deal with on Sunday afternoon, he was actually sent directly to the hospital for tests and evaluation. There he was discharged later on Sunday evening. All tests were good.

Red Bull reacts with relief in a press release and is happy that Verstappen is not hurt. "Following an incident on the first lap at Copse Corner between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton during the British Grand Prix, we can confirm that Max Verstappen ran from his car and was immediately taken to Silverstone Circuit Medical Centre."

"Following an assessment by the doctors at Silverstone Circuit Medical Centre," Red Bull continued, "Max was taken by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for further tests and observation."

All checks Verstappen ok

Verstappen previously reported that, and Red Bull confirms in the press release. "We are pleased to confirm that Max has been released from hospital without serious injuries after a thorough medical examination at 10pm this evening." Finally, Red Bull also thanked all staff and emergency workers.

"Max and the team would like to thank the track Marshalls and medical staff for their exceptional care both on-site at Silverstone and at Coventry Hospital." Verstappen will be hoping to regain fitness in time to take sporting revenge at the Hungarian Grand Prix and widen the gap on Hamilton.
