F1 pundit doesn't hold back criticism of 'naive' Red Bull after disastrous British GP for Verstappen

Red Bull seemed to have gone with a dry weather setup at Silverstone. While it helped Verstappen secure pole position on Saturday, it left him unable to properly challenge during the race.

Mol saw this too and was clear about the team's choice: ‘’Personally, I found Red Bull a bit naive. They know Milton-Keynes, they know Silverstone, we know about the English weather. Horner said on Saturday: ‘It’s a typical British summer’, they now say that they believed there was only a 20 percent chance of rain.’’

F2 driver Richard Verschoor also appeared on Race Café, where he defended the Red Bull Racing team.

Having raced at Silverstone himself, Verschoor noted how the weather conditions were constantly shifting: ‘’We analyzed it all weekend and it really was like that. We also thought, Sunday will just be dry. It was really pouring with us. On the radar, it really looked like it would be dry.’’

Team principal Christian Horner acknowledged that Verstappen did well to salvage fifth place. He pointed to a key moment in the Dutchman’s race — the timing of Red Bull’s pit stops: ''Going from the slick, from the inter to the slick, it seemed to take an age for the track to actually try out.''
