Verstappen says he'd crash into Hamilton again despite being found guilty

Max Verstappen said he would not hesitate to collide with Lewis Hamilton again after the rivals crashed at Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.

Hamilton and Verstappen tangled following a safety car restart on the seventh lap in Interlagos as they duelled for second place through the Senna Esses.

Hamilton recovered to finish runner-up - behind teammate George Russell who took his maiden Formula 1 win - while Verstappen, who was forced to stop for repairs in his Red Bull, finished sixth.

The double world champion was deemed at fault for the collision by the stewards and hit with a five-second penalty.

"I went 'round the outside in turn one, and I just felt it as soon as I was going next to him that he had no intention to leave me space, and I was like, 'Okay, if you are not going to leave me space then we will just collide'.

"I thought after last year, we could forget about it and finally race. But you feel it with a driver - if he is going to leave you space or not - and there was zero intention to leave me space."
