The three times World Champion F1 driver broke the news himself via Instagram, after he delayed travel to Sao Paula for the Brazilian Grand Prix.

The 30-year-old driver posted a picture of himself on the plane, en route to brazil, on his Instagram account late on Wednesday and said no-one was hurt in the accident.

“Dear TeamLH, just wanted to let you know why things have been quiet on social media the past few days, I’ve not been well with a fever but I also had a road accident in Monaco on Monday night.

“Whilst ultimately, it is nobody’s business, there are people knowing my position that will try to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck. NO problem.

“Nobody was hurt, which is the most important thing. But the car was obviously damaged and I made very light contact with a stationary vehicle.

“Talking with the team and my doctor, we decided together that it was best for me to rest at home and leave a day later.”
