Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Popular Formula 1 driver, Lewis Hamilton commented on his recent crash in an F1 race describing it as \u201ca big shock\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hamilton attributed it to luck that he wasn\u2019t injured after he was hit in the head by Max Verstappen\u2019s car at Monza in Italy.<\/p>\n

Said Hamilton:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a big shock. I\u2019ve been racing a long time and we are taking risks out there all the time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only when you experience something like that that you get that real shock and you look at life and realise how fragile we are.<\/p>\n

The crash happened on lap 26 when Verstappen tried to pass Hamilton who was in front. Verstappen\u2019s car went over the kerbs and onto Hamilton\u2019s Mercedes. The two cars then slid off the track with Vertappen\u2019s right rear wheel going over Hamilton\u2019s car and into his head. A cockpit protection device however prevented serious impact.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the crash, Verstappen climbed out of his car and left, walking past Hamilton\u2019s Mercedes. This, Hamilton has said, surprised him as he expected the other driver to check if he wasn\u2019t injured.<\/p>\n

I did see Max get out and just walk by. I felt that a little bit surprising because ultimately I think when we do have incidents the first thing we want to make sure is the guy that we crashed into, we collide with, is okay.<\/p>\n

Verstappen commented back that he had actually looked at Hamilton\u2019s car to see if he was ok:<\/p>\n

In the heat of the moment it\u2019s better to walk away so everyone calms down. Lewis was fine, he was still trying to reverse when I was already out of the car. When you are not fine you are not doing that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
