Max Verstappen chronicled his eventful British Grand Prix, highlighting a “concerning” development after his spin behind the safety car.
Max Verstappen has addressed his “concerning” lack of pace during the British Grand Prix after struggling to work his way through the pack. The four-time F1 drivers’ champion spun at the second safety car restart during the race at Silverstone, after Oscar Piastri’s sudden heavy braking caused confusion. Verstappen misjudged the exit of Stowe, falling down the order and being unable to overtake despite his high-speed, low-downforce set-up. This approach in the unpredictable conditions affected his stability and balance, negating any advantage in top speed. Ultimately finishing in fifth place, Verstappen also noted McLaren’s superior tyre management and his struggle to move forward regardless of position, which was a cause for concern.
