CHAOS at Silverstone as Red Bull star one of THREE drivers out of British GP
Red Bull F1 junior star Liam Lawson crashed out on the first lap of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone due to tyre chaos affecting several drivers. The mix of wet and dry track conditions led to a thrilling but chaotic race start, resulting in Lawson’s early retirement. The race saw multiple incidents, with Lawson colliding with Esteban Ocon and Gabriel Bortoleto retiring due to a low-speed trip into the gravel. The challenging Silverstone weather added to the drama, leaving only 17 racers and triggering two virtual safety car periods by lap five. Despite the excitement, the three drivers who retired early, including Lawson, Colapinto, and Bortoleto, missed out on their first British GP experience as F1 drivers. The historic 75th anniversary of F1 at Silverstone showcased the enduring challenges and excitement of racing at the iconic circuit, with the unpredictable British summer weather adding to the spectacle.
