Verstappen had been on the receiving end of boos and the wrong sort of cheers at Silverstone, Hamilton’s home race, last weekend. Red Bull’s championship leader was booed when he qualified on the front row and cheered when he slowed in the race, a puncture and car damage dropping him from the lead to seventh.

I’m grateful that I wasn’t in hospital and I wasn’t heavily injured,” added the sport’s most successful driver.
