Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was comfortably leading the championship prior to the British Grand Prix. However, a crash on lap 1 after clashing with Lewis Hamilton that ended in a DNF coupled with a win for Lewis means that his championship lead currently stands at a slender 8 points. The last few days has seen a lot of back and forth between Red Bull and Mercedes regarding the crash and Red Bull have even gone so far as to officially appeal the 10-second penalty that Hamilton received for not being strong enough. Max has been relatively quiet through it all. He has now explained why in Red Bull’s preview for the Hungarian GP as quoted by Motorsport Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgwRiE3LPh0_4MiNkZV4AaABCQ 0:00 - Max Verstappen Speaks About “Media Hype” Around His Crash 1:47 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Max Verstappen Speaks About “Media Hype” Around His Crash Max began by explaining why he doesn’t have much to say about the crash “I don’t have much to say on all the media hype. To be honest I am not interested in getting involved in any of that” Red Bull may have launched an official appeal but Max wants to focus on racing “The team can take care of the official side of things and anything that needs looking into after the crash but my job is the same as always – to be the best I can and try to win on Sunday” He then explained why he feels fine despite being in a 51G crash just days ago “I did a 24-hour sim race this week and it was a good test to see how my body would react to spending time sat in one position and behind screens for a long time, I felt absolutely fine which makes me feel positive heading into the weekend. I’m definitely ready to go again” He signed off by keeping his opinions about the crash to himself and reiterating the need to concentrate on the championship “I know what happened at Silverstone as I was in the car and obviously, I feel a certain way about how my race ended but now I’m just focusing on making sure we are the best we can be on track so we can stay ahead in the championship” Fast Feed The FIA has confirmed that Red Bull have challenged the decision to impose just a 10-second penalty on Lewis Hamilton for the lap 1 incident with Max Verstappen at the British GP [F1] The governing body issued summons to both Red Bull and Mercedes to appear via video conference on Thursday of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff feels that “everyone has their own opinion about the events at Silverstone, and it was a very polarizing incident” [Mercedes AMG F1] “Lewis was on incredible form at Silverstone with a brilliant recovery drive in front of his home crowd after the penalty” “It was also a strong weekend for Valtteri [Bottas] too with some great teamwork and good pace, which has closed the margin in both Championships” Retired F1 driver Mark Webber thinks that the Max-Lewis rivalry is “brilliant. It's exactly what we want. [Lap 1 of the British GP] was one of the best first laps we've seen in a long time” [W-series media call] “It's been coming, they've had some brilliant wheel-to-wheel battles – Barcelona, Imola, Bahrain. We all knew this was coming. Bring on more of it” He also feels that “Red Bull will be strong at [the Hungaroring], so Max could have a bit of a Red Bull Ring sort of weekend – pole and then disappear. Lewis might not get a punch on him” Haas team principal Guenther Steiner is of the opinion that George “Russell is doing a great job, he is pushing the limits of the Williams” [RTL] “A year ago, it was already impressive, this year even more so. [He hopes his drivers] Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin can follow in his footsteps in terms of growth” He further believes that Russell “is a driver who can win a world title if given the chance. In any case, his talent can only really be assessed if he has a competitive car” George Russell, meanwhile, has reiterated that he “will definitely drive a car with a Mercedes engine [next year], that's for sure” [RTL] He is “a loyal Mercedes man. Mercedes is [his] car, [his] brand. So, without a doubt it will be a Mercedes engine next season. What colour the car will be, [he doesn't] know yet” Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes AMG F1 have launched a charity initiative called Ignite to support more diversity and inclusivity in motorsport [Mercedes AMG F1] Lewis Hamilton stated that “the findings of The Hamilton Commission have provided [them] a fantastic base to begin [their] work” He is “confident that Ignite will result in real, tangible change within motorsport. Diverse workforces are not only more successful but are also the morally correct approach for any industry” Can Red Bull and Max Verstappen prevent Lewis Hamilton from winning the Hungarian Grand Prix a record-breaking 9th time?

Max Verstappen heeft op de persconferentie voorafgaand aan de Grand Prix van Hongarije nog een keer gereageerd op zijn harde crash op Silverstone. De Nederlander legt uit wat hij bedoelde met zijn reactie op social media op het gejuich van Hamilton en bevestigt dat hij nog wel telefonisch contact heeft gehad met de Mercedes-coureur. Verstappen vindt zelf overigens dat hij niets verkeerd deed bij zijn crash. Helmut Marko heeft onthuld dat Red Bull van plan is om de huidige bezetting van haar stoeltjes intact te houden voor volgend seizoen. Dat zou betekenen dat Sergio Pérez ook volgend seizoen de teamgenoot van Max Verstappen is, terwijl Pierre Gasly opnieuw genoegen moet nemen met een zitje bij AlphaTauri. Toto Wolff en Christian Horner hebben duidelijk een andere mening over de ontwikkeling van de huidige auto's van hun teams. Het Mercedes van Wolff richt zich voornamelijk op volgend jaar en stelt dat teams die dat niet doen met een achterstand aan 2022 zullen beginnen. Red Bull-teambaas Horner is echter van mening dat een middenweg ook prima kan werken. Montage door: Remco van Putten Download ook de GPFans App!

Red Bull's anger towards the way Max Verstappen was eliminated from the British Grand Prix after colliding with Lewis Hamilton, and the 'lenient' penalty the Mercedes driver picked up for it - shows little sign of letting up. In this video Edd Straw explains how the war of words between both sides has escalated since the Silverstone weekend, and we look at what Red Bull would need to come forward with if it wants to go through with its hints that it may try to get the penalty reviewed.

One major factor in the championship this year is the cost cap and this can be especially difficult for teams whose cars suffer a massive crash. Exceeding the cost cap of $145 million can result in penalties such as point deductions, race bans, and even exclusion from the championship. Any one of these can be catastrophic for a team like Red Bull which is involved in a very close battle with Mercedes for the 2021 championship. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has now revealed the cost incurred from Max Verstappen’s crash in Silverstone on the official Red Bull F1 website Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxYoGEI8fv7AFQ719Z4AaABCQ 0:00 - Red Bull Reveal Cost Of Max Verstappen’s Crashed Car 1:56 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Red Bull Reveal Cost Of Max Verstappen’s Crashed Car Horner began by giving his thoughts on why Hamilton made a move into Copse “Had Max made it through Copse, I don't think Hamilton would have seen him again that afternoon as he learned in the previous day’s Sprint Race. No matter how experienced or talented, all drivers experience a build-up of pressure at times and this was a moment of extreme pressure for Hamilton in the championship” He then looked at the positives for the team “The positives we can take from the weekend are that last year, we qualified a second off Mercedes. This year, we were within a tenth. We had a faster race car and we were able to beat them in the Sprint Race which shows that the Team’s monumental effort with the support of Honda, has allowed us to close the gap to the seven-time world champions and the pressure is on them” He also spoke about the possibility of Red Bull requesting a review of the 10-second penalty that was given to Lewis Hamilton after the incident “Given the severity of the incident and the lenient penalty, we are reviewing all data and have the right to request a review. We are therefore still looking at the evidence and considering all of our sporting options” He signed off by revealing the cost of the crash “The other significant factor is the cost-cap element of this. That crash has cost us approximately $1.8million and an accident like that has massive ramifications in a budget cap era” Fast Feed Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin has stated that they needed to “to make sure that the gap [in the championship] wasn't going to grow any further” [GP Fans] “The big one was that [they] were absolutely desperate to see the car perform well and the team perform well” "So, it is hugely reassuring to have been able to demonstrate [that they] are still in the fight for the championship” F1’s managing director Ross Brawn feels that “there is certainly still room for individual interpretation. There won't be ten identical cars on the grid” in 2022 [Formule 1] Retired F1 driver Giedo van der Garde is of the opinion that “as long as Hamilton is driving at Mercedes, [George Russell] is not going to come there” [Ziggo Sport] Mercedes’ team principal Toto Wolff has stated that “yes, the simulator wasn’t [Lewis Hamilton’s] most favourite tool in the past” [F1] However, he thinks they’ve “developed it to a level that is quite good and made it best in class, and he’s started to see the benefits of it” Red Bull’s test driver Alex Albon has explained that the Red Bull car “was tricky last year, it wasn’t easy to drive. When the car is on the limit, it’s never going to be easy” [F1] However, this year “already in winter testing, it was clear – when the guys went out – and there was a lot of rear grip in the car, which is something that [they] were struggling with last year. It was like ‘Ugh! OK! Fine!’ The team have definitely made a big step on it from one year to the next” He added that “there is that side [of frustration at missing out on driving a championship-contending car]. [He feels] like, the car, the team, [they’re] on the up” Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto pointed out that it’s “now two races in a row that [they] had got good pace in the race, which has been [their] weakness as well at the start of this season” [Motorsport] “Showing that as a team [they] were progressing and that is what [he’s] more pleased about, which is certainly more important, as well for the second part of the season now” "After 10 races, [they've] got 17 points more than what [they] had at the end of last season. As a team [they are] showing that certainly the progress is a lot” Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer pointed out that “even Mercedes — who bought Brawn, who were world champions — it took them another four years to win” “So, it’s just what it takes when you have the goal, the ambition, the objectives and the funding to put the infrastructure in place as well as the correct people and then challenge for the world championship” Would Alex Albon have fared better in the 2021 Red Bull car as compared to 2020?
With Red Bull’s Max Verstappen leading the championship by only eight points, the 2021 title-fight promises to be a close one. As such every little thing matters and the crash at Silverstone where Max did not score a single point can play a major role. Max Verstappen was on his second power unit for the season. If the crash has damaged the power unit, there could be significant consequences down the line as pointed out by Honda F1’s Managing Director Masashi Yamamoto to Auto Sport Web Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzNYEwqaPEIM9ShWl14AaABCQ 0:00 - Honda Point Out The Possible Major Implication Of Verstappen’s Crash 1:55 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first on Formula World: Honda Point Out The Possible Major Implication Of Verstappen’s Crash Yamamoto began by explaining his view of the clash between Max and Lewis “I think Max was thinking that he could have stayed in front of Lewis without hitting him. If he didn't, he wouldn't have run that line. On the other hand, I think Lewis when he passed [Charles] Leclerc at the end of the race after the red flag, he kind of pulled back, didn't he? It wasn't as tough as when he tried to pass Max” He pointed out how lucky Lewis was “So, he felt like he could pass Leclerc at any time, even if he didn't have to, but when he saw Max on the first lap, he felt like this was his only chance. But Lewis is amazing, isn't he? Just like in Imola, he has a lot of luck. He had a collision with Max and damaged his front wing, but the red flag came out and he was able to fix it right away” He then expressed his hope for the power unit that was installed on Max’s car during the British GP “I just hope that the power unit [PU] is OK. We are now running the second PU, but we hope to race with either the first or second one in Hungary, so we can only hope that the crash did not damage it” He signed off by responding to what will happen if the power unit used in Silverstone turns out to be damaged “I don't want to think about that, but if it happens, we'll have to race with the first unit or consider the third. If that happens, we are limited to three units per year, so it will have to be tough. Considering the championship battle, I'm worried” Fast Feed McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo thinks “there's now just still some underlying pace. It's strange because you'd think on one lap is where [he] would maybe lack more, when you really push the car on the limit, and maybe the race when everything settles down [he'd] have a bit more” [Motorsport] “But [they've] kind of seen the opposite this weekend. On the race when the car is a bit on fuel and starts to move around more that's where [he’s] still got to dial it in a bit more” Williams CEO Jost Capito has stated that they “need drivers who are willing to support the team, to get the team back, to lead the team, and to improve performance” [The Race] “At the moment we can see the interest in drivers to get to Williams is increasing. [They] are well-funded and this is known, and [they are] getting the steps in the right direction” Haas’ Mick Schumacher “saw that [Sebastian Vettel’s] race didn’t go as planned, that’s very unfortunate” [F1] “Therefore, I didn’t challenge him in any way because I knew he was going to go faster. So, I was rather trying to learn from him than impede him”, Mick added Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc pointed out that “the last year [in 2020] was more difficult for Seb [Vettel], but in his good days, he was just incredible, and just incredibly difficult to beat, if not impossible” [Beyond The Grid Podcast] He added that his current teammate Carlos [Sainz] is just very, very consistent, so it's different approaches, but both of them were very, very strong” Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen has stated that if he decides “decide to quit, [he] really don’t care who drives the car. That’s no longer [his] problem” [Sport 1] He also feels that “With his name, of course, [Mick Schumacher] has a lot of pressure. The worst car gives him an easier start because expectations are low. He has more time to learn things” FIA race director Michael Masi has clarified that “access to the stewards’ office is strictly limited to the stewards, the stewards’ secretary and the stewards operator” [PA News Agency] “Admission is only permitted with the prior approval of the stewards or following a decision of the stewards to summons a competitor and/or driver” “Any competitor or person associated with a competitor who does not comply with the requirements outlined above may be considered to have breached Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code” Alpine’s Fernando Alonso feels that he has “always been a clean driver, and [he] will remain a clean driver for all [his] career” [Autosport] He added that he’s one of the “few ones that don't have any points on the license” If Max Verstappen’s power unit is damaged from the crash in Silverstone, should he go to the older one or take a new one early?
