Christian Horner says Max Verstappen's Silverstone crash with Lewis Hamilton has cost Red Bull around $1.8million, an outlay that will have "massive ramifications" for the team. Verstappen was taken to hospital for checks after being left badly winded by his high-speed collision with title rival Hamilton at the British Grand Prix last weekend. Dutchman Verstappen spun into the barriers following a dramatic crash on the first lap at Copse corner. Hamilton went on to win on home soil and reduce Verstappen's championship lead to only eight points despite being given a 10-second penalty for being "predominantly to blame" for the incident.
