Verstappen 'right not to be happy' after crash – Mekies

Max Verstappen expressed severe frustration following a crash at the British Grand Prix, where his Red Bull slid into the gravel at Stowe corner. The incident, caused by a rear wing failure, mirrored a similar issue in Austria, leading Verstappen to label the situation as dangerous. Team Principal Laurent Mekies acknowledged the driver's frustration, stating it is unacceptable for the car to fail in high-speed corners twice in a row, and confirmed that the team is conducting a thorough investigation into the mechanical issues. Mekies noted that while the team identified the root cause of the Austrian incident, the failure at Silverstone was of a different nature. The team is currently evaluating the design concept of their rear wing, which has been in use since Miami, to ensure safety. Furthermore, Verstappen had previously expressed a desire to change his power unit and setup from the pit lane due to poor handling, but the team opted to stick with their qualifying position, a decision that remains a point of contention between the driver and the team.
