AngryGinge 'arrested and banned' from Silverstone as streamer 'told to pay £30,000'

The streamer and YouTuber was arrested for allegedly damaging an F1 car at the British Grand Prix.

AngryGinge has taken to a Twitch livestream to say he was supposedly arrested and banned from Silverstone over the British Grand Prix weekend after a Formula One car was reportedly damaged.

In addition, the streamer and YouTuber was reportedly told to pay £30,000 as a result of the incident that took place at the fan events before the huge Formula One race that Lando Norris won.

While AngryGinge has protested his innocence on TikTok, he and fellow streamers Chazza and SamHam were accused of causing criminal damage. All deny this.

It comes weeks after AngryGinge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, participated in Soccer Aid 2025 where he won player of the match while starring for England at Old Trafford.

SPORTbible has approached AngryGinge's representatives for comment.

What happened to AngryGinge at Silverstone?

Chazza has since confirmed that both he and AngryGinge were not taken away in handcuffs by police, but they were escorted to the local station for questioning.

However, Chazza, explaining the situation on TikTok, has stated that they were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage following reports of £30,000 worth of damage being done to a Formula One car.

Having been held in a holding cell overnight ahead of a potential interview, Chazza outlined that he, AngryGinge and friend SamHam were released without charge the following day.

That said, fellow streamer Syndicate put out a video yesterday claiming that AngryGinge has since been banned from attending Silverstone.

In the video, Tom says he messaged a friend of his who works at Silverstone asking whether the YouTube personality had been banned, to which he replied: ‘Yep’.

AngryGinge himself took to his first livestream after being released, wearing a tongue in cheek orange jump suit while wearing a fake pair of handcuffs while Akon's 'Locked Up' plays in the background.

Recalling the moment in the livestream, AngryGinge says he was arrested at 9.42pm on suspicion of criminal damage before being allowed to leave free of charge the following day.

He also said he was informed he was banned from returning to Silverstone, adding: "That's genuinely it. Mental."



Norris capitalises on home advantage to seal first

In a rain-soaked British GP, it was Lando Norris who emerged victorious, pipping McLaren teammate Oscar Piatsri to first.

Kick Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg rounded off the podium places, while Lewis Hamilton finished fourth with defending champion Max Verstappen coming in in fifth.

The results saw Piastri extend his lead over Verstappen to 69 points, though teammate Norris is now just eight points off top spot in the Drivers' Championship following his fourth race win of the season.

In addition, McLaren are now storming ahead in the Constructors’ Championship with 460 points.

Ferrari are their closest competitor with 222 points, while Mercedes and Red Bull sit third and fourth with 210 and 172 points, respectively.

Five drivers did not finish on Sunday

A total of five drivers did not finish at Silverstone as the weather wreaked havoc at the famous circuit, with a deluge of rain falling shortly after the race started.

Under fire Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda finished last of those to complete the race, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc ended the race in 14th.

There is now a three-week break in the F1 schedule before the drivers regroup in Belgium at the end of the month.
