in the closing stages of the British Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>After Verstappen was sent spinning off at Stowe, the Dutchman described the wing as \u201csuper dangerous\u201d and suggested that he could have been hurt after what was a second high-speed incident in two weekends, following his heavy crash in Q3 in Austria.<\/p>\n<p>Both were related to the rear wing not reattaching properly after a straight-line mode zone, although the two issues were different.<\/p>\n<figure> <source

he&#8217;s right not to be happy,\u201d said Mekies when asked by <em>Crash.net<\/em> what the team could do to reassure Verstappen before another race at a high-speed venue in Spa. \u201cIt is very unpleasant for drivers to be let down by the car in high-speed corners in two consecutive races, be it for two different reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div

extremely unpleasant for us as a group to send our drivers to the gravel trap.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he&#8217;s right to be unhappy. I have no doubt that the team will put in place what is necessary for that not to happen again, even if we failed to do that today, and we take that as safely as one can do. And therefore the minimum that Max can fell today is being unhappy.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article\">\n<h2>Read More<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-da6f2a10c5edb721c3f1696943259034c94ac19ac4179af4b17e92eb5305f0e1\">  Jos Verstappen dubs Martin Brundle an &#8216;idiot&#8217; over Red Bull F1 comments   Why Max Verstappen didn&#8217;t speak to Christian Horner at the British Grand Prix <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Mekies said that the team had understood what happened in Austria, but stressed it was too early to have a clear picture of the problem that occurred at Silverstone.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1419664_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Mekies has vowed to leave no stone unturned to find the problem<\/div>\n<div class=\"source\"> \u00a9\u00a0XPB Images<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;We certainly understand what happened at Red Bull Ring,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are not going to go into the details, because I don&#8217;t think it will be right, but we understand the failure, yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article_2\">\n<h2>Read More<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-27fd99f1d8b370238ce0798bef9e8d43ea45f92bea22a97c73551ebf87269a11\">  Ferrari stands by decision to pit Hamilton before &#8216;surprise&#8217; safety car finish   Max Verstappen slams &#8220;super-dangerous&#8221; Red Bull wing after &#8220;lucky&#8221; Silverstone escape <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAnd yes, from the early analysis of today&#8217;s, we have suffered a different type of failure.

it tries to address the rear wing issue that pitched Max Verstappen off the road in the closing stages of the British Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>After Verstappen was sent spinning off at Stowe, the Dutchman described the wing as \u201csuper dangerous\u201d and suggested that he could have been hurt after what was a second high-speed incident in two weekends, following his heavy crash in Q3 in Austria.<\/p>\n<p>Both were related to the rear wing not reattaching properly after a straight-line mode zone, although the two issues were different.<\/p>\n<figure> <source

he&#8217;s right not to be happy,\u201d said Mekies when asked by <em>Crash.net<\/em> what the team could do to reassure Verstappen before another race at a high-speed venue in Spa. \u201cIt is very

I have no doubt that the team will put in place what is necessary for that not to happen again, even if we failed to do that today, and we take that as safely as one can do.
