Formula One's motorsport head Ross Brawn has urged Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton to prevent their title battle turning personal after the pair collided in the British Grand Prix

The first lap crash sent Verstappen crashing out and on to hospital for checks, while Hamilton fought back from a 10-second penalty to win and slash the gap at the top of the championship to eight points.

The afternoon ended in argument and accusation, with Hamilton also subjected to racial abuse on social media.

Red Bull is considering a protest against Hamilton's punishment, believing it's too lenient.
