Fans have taken to social media to slam Max Verstappen after he sensationally collided with Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen had attempted to overtake Hamilton but ended up clipping the Mercedes driver’s car and went flying through the air.

After going off the track, Verstappen lost momentum towards the end of the race, with his hopes of a third placed finish evaporating.

And fans didn’t hold back on their criticism of the Red Bull driver, with some claiming he’s a ‘dangerous’ and ‘reckless’ driver.

One said: ‘Verstappen is a dangerous driver could have upset @LewisHamilton race….hope he gets what he deserves !!’

Verstappen had cut a frustrated figure throughout the race.

Verstappen was placed under investigation by the stewards as a result of the collision with Hamilton.

The Dutchman had earlier expressed his anger with Red Bull’s ‘s*** strategy’ during the race.

Prior to the incident, Verstappen was heard saying on the team radio: ‘No mate don’t give me that s***. You guys gave me this s*** strategy, ok? I’m trying to rescue what’s left. ****’.

Verstappen was instructed not to use his tyres too heavily but he elected to ignore those commands.
