Formula One stewards on Thursday dismissed Red Bull's petition to review the collision between their championship leading driver Max Verstappen and his Mercedes championship rival Lewis Hamilton on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix.

Hamilton was handed a 10-second time penalty for the incident, that sent Verstappen to hospital for precautionary checks but was still able to win, with Red Bull criticising the sanction as too lenient.

Stewards, however, did not feel the information Red Bull presented at a meeting at the Hungarian Grand Prix to support their petition for a review was relevant or significant enough to merit another look into the incident.
