A police statement has been issued after AngryGinge was arrested following an incident at the British Grand Prix.

Lando Norris beat McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win his first-ever British Grand Prix last Sunday.

Piastri was given a 10-second time penalty for his safety car infringement that involved Max Verstappen as his furious radio message emerged following the incident.

Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg finished third - securing the first podium finish of his Formula 1 career.

Away from the track, AngryGinge - real name Morgan Burtwistle - was 'arrested and banned' from Silverstone after a Formula 1 car was reportedly damaged.

The popular streamer was reportedly told to pay £30,000 as a result of the Silverstone incident.

AngryGinge has denied the claims, stating he had only sat inside the vehicle.

The 23-year-old, along with fellow streamers Chazza and SamHam, have since been released from custody.

AngryGinge has since spoken out about his arrest.

"For sitting in a car, they got us, you don't do that at F1," he said on a Twitch livestream.

"They locked us up for watching somebody else sitting in a car - they locked SamHam up for watching somebody else sit in a car.

"They locked Chazza up for sitting in a car, criminal damage, they tried to say."

AngryGinge added: "10 o'clock in the morning, I'm thinking it is, and the door opens, I'm thinking it might be interview time.

"Officer opens it, 'you're free to go, there's no further action'.

"I've just spent 15 hours in a concrete block, and I'm now being told, no further action."

Police issue statement after AngryGinge's arrest following Silverstone incident

Northampton Police have now released a statement, confirming a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage.

The statement read via talkSPORT: "On Friday, July 4, Northamptonshire Police received a report that a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle.

"Officers carried out initial inquiries, and suspects were identified.

"Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody.

"Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action."
