In the wake of the accident, Monger's racing team JHR Developments has set up a donations page on the crowdfunding website JustGiving to help aid the young driver's rehabilitation from his life-changing injuries.

At the time of writing more than 12,000 people had donated in excess of £500,000 ($640,000).

Among the scores of donors were 2009 F1 world champion Button who donated £15,000 ($19,000) as well as posting on his Instagram account urging people to give money.

'This guy needs our help so if you can please donate, I will be doing as much as I can to help this dude out...' Button wrote.

Mercedes driver and three-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton also lent his support.

'Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, @BillyMonger,' Hamilton tweeted Wednesday.

Red Bull Racing's Verstappen donated £5,000 with the message: 'My thoughts go out to you and your loved ones. Stay strong Billy!'

Monger's cousin Vicky posted a message on her Facebook account thanking well-wishers for the outpouring of support.
