Things didn't go to plan for Max Verstappen at the British GP and his father Jos believes championship rival Lewis Hamilton should have been disqualified after his role in the opening lap collision. The Dutchman was leading on the opening lap when he was tapped off track by the Mercedes driver at Copse. Max was sent into the barrier at 51G and later taken to a local hospital for further tests, which left Jos fuming at Hamilton. "It's really not acceptable what he did," Jos told De Telegraaf.

You can't overtake on the inside." There was good news for the Verstappen family late Sunday night with word that Max had been released from hospital .
