Red Bull Reveal Cost Of Max Verstappen’s Crashed Car
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?
Honda Point Out The Possible Major Implication Of Verstappen’s Crash
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?
The FIA Reveals Why Hamilton Was Penalised But Not Verstappen
The topic of who was to blame for the Hamilton-Verstappen clash is still raging on. One school of thought is that Lewis Hamilton being given a 10-second penalty is an indicator of where the blame lay officially. FIA race director Michael Masi has now explained why it was Hamilton who got the penalty as quoted by Autosport Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzXkJvajsRmSz5SCbV4AaABCQ 0:00 - Lewis Hamilton Was Deemed “Predominantly To Blame” For Crash According To FIA Race Director 1:56 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Lewis Hamilton Was Deemed “Predominantly To Blame” For Crash According To FIA Race Director Masi began by explaining why first lap incidents have been dealt with more sternly this year “There is a clear point that the first lap is obviously treated in a much lighter way under ‘the let them race’ principles than the rest of the race, no doubt about that but the drivers have clearly said, as have the teams from the end of last year, that they felt with the elbows were out a bit too far last year, and they needed to be tucked back in a little bit” He then explained why they didn’t take a more lenient approach with stewarding the Hamilton-Verstappen crash “There were two cars clearly involved in the incident and all the drivers from the start of this year said that if there's two cars involved, that if there is someone that is predominantly to blame, predominantly or wholly, then that should be looked at a bit closer, even on the first lap” He then clarified why Hamilton was given the penalty “I think having looked at it all, their view was that he was predominantly to blame for that. The big part was similar to what happened with Charles later on, that he could have, say, tucked in closer to the apex” He made clear that it wasn’t entirely Hamilton’s fault “And that was where they found that, I think the wording was quite clear as per the regulations, that he was predominantly to blame. He wasn't seen as wholly to blame for it, but seen as predominantly to blame, that he could have tucked in further” He signed off by responding to the suggestions that the 10-second penalty wasn’t strong enough as Lewis would go on to win the race despite the penalty “That may have changed the outcome. But we don't know, we judge it on the incident itself” Fast Feed Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff thinks that “this championship was always very intense, because [they] are fighting with everything [they] have in order to hold onto this championship” [F1] This is despite “knowing [they] are not performing as [well as] Red Bull and Honda” He added that they’ve “had big points losses in the past and, [at Silverstone, they] scored big points, so that is always balancing itself out” Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton is “open to [talking to Max about the crash, he doesn’t] have any issues, [he doesn’t] really know what [they’ll] say” Former world champion Mika Hakkinen has suggested that “as a top driver, going for the World Championship, you are not there to back off. It’s [their] job to race” [Unibet] He knows from [his] “own experiences that when you are racing wheel-to-wheel there is always the possibility of the cars touching” He further feels that “this accident will really put some fire between these guys and their battle for the World Championship” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is of the opinion that “it will certainly become even more tense. The relationship has never been relaxed” [RTL] “For the spectators, such things are exciting. But we will behave within the bounds of fair sporting practices”, Marko added “We won the sprint with ease at Silverstone and would have also won the main race. There is no reason to panic. We expect it to be close again”, Marko surmised FIA Formula 1 Medical Rescue Coordinator Doctor Ian Roberts has revealed that “initially, Max was a little disoriented and not so stable on his feet, but he was soon able to walk” [The Telegraph] Red Bull’s Sergio Perez thinks that P7 at the British GP “was possible; with a few more laps [he thinks he] could have caught Lance [Stroll] and Fernando [Alonso]” [F1] However, they “decided to stop for strategic reasons to get the fastest lap. It's a weekend for [them] to forget quickly and [they've] lost a lot of ground in the championship” Retired F1 world champion Damon Hill doesn’t think he has “ever seen Lewis Hamilton on the track as aggressive as he was during the race at Silverstone” [F1 Nation Podcast] He further explained that “all drivers assume that the other person just has to give way. They all think: he has to move, because I am faster” “If you have two people with that mindset, of course that never goes well. Hamilton was very lucky he didn't suffer any further damage” Was it the right decision on Red Bull’s part to forfeit a possible top 10 finish for the fastest lap during the British Grand Prix?

Marko Rages And Calls Everyone At Mercedes “Blind”
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko isn’t someone to hold back when it comes to expressing his opinions and he did not hold back in the aftermath of Max Verstappen’s crash at the British GP after a coming together with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. He has now given his frank opinion to Sky Germany on how the matter should have been dealt with Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyVXRrokGK5Wdz4pft4AaABCQ 0:00 - Marko Calls Everyone At Mercedes “Blind” 1:11 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Marko Calls Everyone At Mercedes “Blind” Marko began by explaining why the crash wasn’t a racing incident “If a competitor massively touches our rear wheel with his front wheel, then that's no longer a racing incident in the fastest corner of the circuit. That is negligent to dangerous behavior” Mercedes’ insinuation that it was Verstappen’s fault was pointed out to him. Marko responded to that by saying “Then they are all blind. The replays showed that quite clearly. He went into our right rear wheel with his left front wheel and sent Verstappen into the barrier” He signed off by revealing what according to him would have been an appropriate punishment for Hamilton “You can't do that with the normal sporting code. I don't know what the maximum penalty would be, but such dangerous and reckless behaviour should be punished with a suspension or something” Fast Feed Lewis Hamilton doesn't “think, from [his] current understanding, that [he’s] in a position to have to apologize for anything. [They] were out there racing” [Post-race press conference] “None of us ever want any of us to ever get injured, that is never my intention, so I really hope that he is OK”, he further added Red Bull team principal Christian Horner “will look at [appealing for a stronger penalty for Hamilton], but [he doesn’t] think it makes much sense and will change the result anymore” [De Telegraaf] McLaren’s Lando Norris feels that the incident between Max and Lewis “is a very tricky one. Both drivers risked a lot, and Lewis got a penalty so they thought Lewis was to blame” [F1] “Going to the inside there [Turn 9] is a very difficult thing to do, especially because when you come in at such a high speed on the inside it is such a tight angle” “It is easy to do what Lewis did and understeer. I guess he misjudged it a little bit. It is racing. I don’t know, I don’t want to say anything”, Norris surmised His teammate Daniel Ricciardo feels that “ultimately Lewis went in too hot for the given level of grip and that’s where you see he just drifted up into Max” [Race Fans] “Completely unintentional, but just the nature of the aero on these cars and you just have to allow a little more”, he added However, he’s “certainly not going to sit here and judge and say he should have done this or that” Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is feeling “50% frustration, 50% happiness. Obviously going into this weekend there was absolutely no hope of fighting for a win here at Silverstone” [Post-race press conference] “So, this shows how great a job [they] are doing as a team. It’s not an easy situation for the team, but the team is working extremely well” He also stated that he “was really on it every lap. [He doesn’t] think there was one lap where [he] did a big mistake” Lando Norris pointed out that “because of the pit stop, [he] didn’t get the chance to be ahead and defend [third] for as long as possible” [F1] “It would have been nice to fight for it and have that opportunity, but fourth and fifth for [them] as a team is still a good result” AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly has revealed that he “had a puncture and had to box with five laps to go. It’s very frustrating to be coming away with no points” [F1] His teammate Yuki Tsunoda, meanwhile, is “quite happy to have come away with a point. [He] tried to stick to the plan, really focus on tyre management, and [he thinks he] achieved that well” Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen feels that he “had a nice battle with Sergio [Perez. They] went side by side in quite a few corners but suddenly the space was gone” He is “not sure what happened but [he] spun and that was it. In the end, [they] had to do a lot of defending, [they] were still missing something to be in the points until the flag” Should Red Bull appeal for a stronger penalty for Hamilton? / Do you think Charles Leclerc could have won the race if he hadn’t suffered the engine cut-outs?
