WATCH: Dramatic F1 footage shows new angle of Verstappen/Hamilton crash
Verstappen and Hamilton came together as they battled for position at the first chicane on La🌟p 26 of last weekend’s Italian GP at Monza.
The♏ Red Bull driver’s car was launched on top of Hamilton’s Mercedes, w❀ith his right rear wheel bouncing over the roll hoop before striking the Halo and making contact with the seven-time world champion’s helmet.
A new angle captured by an onboard 360-✱degree camera has provided revealing new footage of the accident, including the moment Verstappen’s wheel ☂;made contact with Hamilton’s head as both cars came to rest in the gravel trap.
Hamilton escaped the collision with a sore neck and prꦇaised F1’s cockpit protection device for saving him from serious inj෴ury or death.
"Thank God for the halo that ultimately I think saved me and saved my neck," Hamil𒀰ton said.
“I don't think I've ever been hit🧔 on the head by a car before and it's quite ไa shock for me, because I don't know if you've seen the image but my head really is quite far forward.
“And I've beenඣ racing a long, long time, so I'm so, so grateful that I'm still here.”
Hamilton 🐬said he would vi🧸sit a specialist ahead of the Russian Grand Prix later this month to ensure he has avoided any kind of injury.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said Halo had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“⭕definitely saved ඣLewis’s life today”.
