Red Bull's failure blows up at Silverstone: Verstappen struggles with same issues as in 2024

Red Bull Racing has not been in top form for quite some time now. The Milton Keynes-based team has failed to be able to hit the ground running during the first practice session yet again at the British Grand Prix.

The RB21 has turned out not to be the fix Verstappen and Red Bull were hoping for after a very complicated season with the 2024 car, the RB20. At Silverstone Verstappen once again complained of the same issues with his RB21 during the session via the onboard radio.

"I don't know, it just doesn't turn at low speed, and then any high speed, it's either big snaps, pile of understeer."

Sky Sports commentator Anthony Davidson sees the familiarity in Verstappen's complaints during the broadcast of the FP1 session. "It sounds like a typical kind of complaint from Max Verstappen about the balance of his car. That doesn't sound like a comfortable race car to drive at the moment but, as we know, they are great at turning around the data and turning that car around."
