Horner has no desire to respond to Zak Brown's comments

When the Red Bull team boss was asked by a journalist on the Silverstone paddock in front of GPblog what he thought of Brown's comments, he replied, "I'm not going to dignify that with an answer."

Rather, Horner was talking about the sporting performance. He saw Max Verstappen come close to Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages. For the closing stages, the Mercedes driver opted for a set of softs, Verstappen was given a set of hard tyre. The Dutchman almost closed a gap of about eight seconds, but ultimately came up short.

"[It was] a great stop and good call to go onto the hard tyre. And Max's pace thereafter, again, he was circa half a second a lap quicker in the middle sector and just kept coming back and back past Lando and another lap or two. Who knows, he might have passed Lewis," Horner said.
