Popular UK streamer Angryginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, was arrested over the weekend at Silverstone on suspicion of causing significant damage to a classic Formula 1 car on display. He was taken into custody along with fellow content creators Chazza (Charlie Clark) and SamHam.
According to Northamptonshire Police, three men aged 23, 25, and 27 were arrested in connection with the incident. Silverstone officials confirmed that the group had been banned from the British Grand Prix and issued with trespass notices.
Footage shared online shows Charlie Clark climbing into the cockpit of the historic F1 car, followed by an audible snapping sound. Angryginge is heard saying, “I think the suspension on the car has just gone.”
Angryginge, known for his energetic streaming style and appearances in events like the Baller League, claimed the group spent 15 hours in a police cell but denied responsibility for the damage. “I’m genuinely traumatised,” he told his audience after the incident.
Police are also investigating the theft of a steering wheel from the same Silverstone display. An image of a person of interest was released on Sunday as part of the inquiry.
The British Grand Prix saw more than 500,000 attendees over four days. Authorities reported a total of 20 arrests during the event for offences including theft, criminal damage, assault, and drug possession.
