Reigning world champion Max Verstappen, as so often sits season, managed to put his car on P1. For Verstappen, this was his sixth victory in a row. Peter Windsor is charmed by Verstappen's performance during the British Grand Prix. He explains why it is so clever of the Dutchman.

"It’s very easy to underestimate how good a job Max did today. The car was not in the same sort of sweet spot that it is usually, it was still very good, there is still a lot of good things about the RB19," Windsor told in an analysis on his YouTube channel.

"But Max actually had to do a lot more sort of knife-edgy driving, very fingertippy, just make sure he got everything right. And we saw that in particularly on the stint with the softs, but also to some extent on the mediums, it was really difficult for him, even when he got the lead, to really get any sort of lead over Lando [Norris]," Windsor said.

The Dutchman himself also saw that the win did not come out of the blue during Sunday's race. He said earlier that there are quite a few areas for improvement to be found on the RB19 he is driving. Red Bull Racing has already tried to take updates with it towards the Hungarian Grand Prix.
