'I'm genuinely traumatised,' Angryginge told followers. '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…' said Angryginge.

Morgan Burtwistle, 23, was arrested by Northamptonshire Police alongside fellow YouTubers Chazza and SamHam on suspicion of causing criminal damage before being released without further action. A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police 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.

"Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action." The trio were livestreaming from the British Grand Prix site. Chazza, real name Charlie, was seen squeezing into the cockpit of an F1 display vehicle during the event's practice day. In a video posted on YouTube on Monday, Burtwistle said he was taken to a police station for questioning before being held in a cell overnight for 15 hours. He said: 'I'm genuinely traumatised', and denied having caused any damage to the car, adding that he was not allowed to return to the British Grand Prix for the remainder of the event. In a statement to the BBC, a spokesperson for Silverstone confirmed that Burtwistle had been issued with a trespass notice as a result of 'anti-social behaviour', banning him from the Grand Prix.

Northamptonshire Police has released an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident. It was reported to have happened at 2:30pm local time. Across the weekend, which saw around half a million people in attendance, a total of 34 crimes were reported for offences including theft, criminal damage, drug possession and assault.

‘YouTuber' arrested after classic F1 car damaged at Silverstone
A YouTube personality was arrested on suspicion of causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to a car at Silverstone last weekend. 'Angryginge', whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was arrested along with fellow YouTubers 'Chazza' and 'SamHam'. Northamptonshire Police said three men, aged 23, 25 and 27 were arrested while a Silverstone spokesperson said they had issued a trespass notice and banned the trio from the Grand Prix. Video circulated on social media showed Chazza, real name Charlie Clark, attempting to enter the cockpit of a classic F1 car on display at Silverstone. A snapping sound was heard and Angryginge said: 'I think the suspension on the car has just gone.' Angryginge is one of the most popular streamers in the UK and has featured at Baller League, a shorter form of football with emphasis on streaming and integration of celebrities. The 23-year-old said the three were held in a cell overnight for 15 hours but denied damaging the vehicle. 'I'm genuinely traumatised,' he told followers. The incident came as Lando Norris, who drove to his first grand-prix victory at Silverstone on Sunday, was left with a bloody nose after a man fell off the pit wall and landed on the McLaren driver during celebrations. The man appeared to be a photographer who was attempting to get into position for Norris' pit-wall celebrations. As he hauled himself into position, the black screening that had been erected after the race came loose and he fell backwards into the McLaren driver, who was subsequently barged into two other nearby photographers.
