Lewis Hamilton said he will continue to race "hard but fairly" after Max Verstappen accused the Briton of being dangerous, disrespectful and unsportsmanlike following their 190mph collision at the British Grand Prix.
Verstappen was released from hospital at 10pm on Sunday night, seven hours after his high-speed crash with Hamilton on the opening lap of the Silverstone race.
Hamilton was dealt a 10-second penalty for the accident.
"I don't think I am in a position to have to apologise for anything. We are out there racing.
"I don't agree with the stewards but I take my penalty on the chin and get on with my job. I am not going to whine about it.
"Everyone is going to have a different opinion and I don't really care what people think so I just do what I do and I am really grateful for today."
