Verstappen said the specific failures of the two incidents were not the same.<\/p>\n
“Different fault but same outcome,” he said. “While turning in, the rear wing is not fully attaching and you lose a lot of downforce and just spin off.”<\/p>\n
The Dutchman, who finished a close second in Austria but was unhappy with the car throughout the weekend at Silverstone, also expressed his dissatisfaction with Red Bull’s performance this season.<\/p>\n
He lies seventh in the championship, 103 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes, after nine races. He has retired from three of them because of problems with his car.<\/p>\n
“I would be a very zen person to be optimistic at the moment with what happened again this weekend,” Verstappen said.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry, but it’s just like that. I mean, I need a few days, I think, to reset and try again.<\/p>\n
“Everyone is trying their best. I’m not blaming one person or whatever. It’s just painful for everyone, you know, that this has happened.<\/p>\n
“I want to just finish races, first of all. That would be nice. At the moment, too many things go wrong. It’s as simple as that. Not even speaking about pace.”<\/p>\n
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said: “He’s right not to be happy. It is very unpleasant for drivers to be let down by the car in the high-speed corners in two consecutive races, let it be for two different reasons.<\/p>\n
“And it is in a much lower scale, also extremely unpleasant for us as a group to send our drivers to the gravel trap.<\/p>\n
“I have no doubt that as a team we will put in place what is necessary for that not to happen again, even if we failed to do that today.<\/p>\n
“And we take that as seriously as one can do, and therefore the minimum that Max can achieve today is being unhappy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Verstappen said the specific failures of the two incidents were not the same. “Different fault but same outcome,”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-534734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
