Seven times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton said he was grateful to be alive after being hit on the head by title rival Max Verstappen's car at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Hamilton, 36, said he felt some pain in his neck and would probably need to see a specialist before the next race in Russia on Sept. 26. "I don't think I've ever been hit on the head by a car before, and it's quite a shock for me. If you've seen the image, my head really is quite far forward. "I've been racing a long time and we are taking risks out there all the time. I guess it's only when you experience something like that that you get that real shock of how you look at life and realise how fragile we are."
