But he got into trouble alongside fellow streamers Chazza and SamHam.
The trio were arrested after being accused of causing £30,000 worth of criminal damage to a BWT Racing Point F1 Team car.
They have each denied the charges, with AngryGinge claiming he only sat in the vehicle.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said: "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."
AngryGinge, 23, claimed he spent 15 hours in a cell and was not even interviewed before being released alongside his friends.
He revealed his ordeal later on stream, wearing an orange jumpsuit and a fake pair of handcuffs.
AngryGinge said: "For sitting in a car, they got us, you don't do that at F1.
"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.
"30 grand, they tried to say…"
AngryGinge continued: "Security's then come over, a very funny little moment where I've tried to grass Chaz up.
"Two hours have gone past, you'd have thought I assaulted someone, let me tell you…Chazza has sat in an F1 car.
"I offered to show him the video there and then.
"The words, okay, from the gentleman in the cap, 'there's no point, mate. You can show us at the station.'
"What the f*** is going on here then? We pull up into custody, he said, 'Do you want a solicitor?'
"And I said, 'Sarge, I'm all right, thanks'. He then replied, 'Why don't you want a solicitor?' Done f*** all wrong mate.
He added: "My toilet has got skids in. He's gone, 'would you like any food and drink?' - 'What've you got, mate?'
"He said, 'We've got pot noodles'.
"So, anyway, I've managed to fall asleep, then about 10 seconds go by, and a guy in the cell next to me starts banging for no reason.
"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.
"I've not been questioned, interviewed, and that's that.
"All three of us have just been let out at the same time, no further action, done finished."
