Lewis Hamilton is thankful that, apart from a sore neck, he got through the crash with title rival Max Verstappen unscathed.

"It's days like today when I'm reminded how lucky I am," the Mercedes driver wrote on his social media channels. "It takes a millisecond to go from a race to a very scary situation. Today someone must have been looking down, watching over me."

He continued: "My neck's a bit sore as the adrenaline wears off - it was a bit of a hit on the head, so naturally I have one big headache but I'm doing okay! The halo stopped the crash from being a lot worse"

"I'm incredibly grateful to all those that work to make our cars and racing safer. TeamLH ... the support I receive from you keeps me pushing and fighting. I'm so thankful for each and everyone of you, you are truly the best. Still we rise!" ends the message.
