The Sun reported the trio were arrested after being accused of causing almost $63,000 worth of criminal damage to a BWT Racing Point F1 Team car.

They each denied the charges, with AngryGinge claiming he only sat in the vehicle.

“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,” A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said.

The moment the car was broken.

“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.”

The influencer boasts 1.8 million TikTok followers and over 800,000 subscribers, with 1.2 Instagram followers, and he made even more of a name for himself at England’s Soccer Aid charity match last month, winning the man of the match award.

He 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.

“For sitting in a car, they got us, you don’t do that at F1,” AngryGinge said.

“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.”

“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.’

AngryGinge said the trio were taken into custody and asked if they wanted a solicitor. When they declined the police wondered why.

“Done f*** all wrong mate,” he said.

“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.

Lando Norris came out on top in a rain-soaked British GP on Sunday.

He qualified in third place behind his team-mate Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen, who took pole.

But an eventful race in which Verstappen spun out on multiple occasions and Piastri was penalised by ten seconds allowed Norris to seize the initiative and he claimed his fourth win of the season.
