Max Verstappen's car lost performance from AlphaTauri debris

 Max Verstappen's loss of performance the British Grand Prix was due to a piece of debris from an AlphaTauri becoming lodged in the floor of his Red Bull. Verstappen was leading the race when he suddenly lost performance and conceded positions to both Ferraris. The sudden lack of grip was so bad that Verstappen reported a puncture, but when he returned to the pits the team found that all four tyres were fully inflated and a piece of debris was lodged under the car, stripping it of performance. Red Bull was unable to remove the debris at the pit stop and sent him back on track in the hope of salvaging a result, with Verstappen going on to secure six points for a seventh place finish. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner later said the debris had stripped the car of 20 percent of its downforce and also revealed it had been left on track following a collision between the drivers of Red Bull's sister team AlphaTauri, Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly. "He didn't have a pun

Lewis Hamilton: Charles Leclerc sensible, unlike Max Verstappen last year

 SILVERSTONE, England -- Lewis Hamilton praised Charles Leclerc after their epic fight for position at the British Grand Prix and said it was a lot more sensible than his battle with Max Verstappen in 2021. Hamilton and Leclerc fought wheel-to-wheel for third position over three incredible laps at the dramatic conclusion of the race. At one stage, Leclerc reclaimed position around the outside of Copse, the same point of the track where Hamilton and Verstappen controversially collided last year. Like that incident, Hamilton had the inside line again but Leclerc passed around the outside without contact, something the seven-time world championship was quick to reference after the race. "Charles did a great job, what a great battle. He is a very sensible driver, clearly a lot different to what I experienced last year," Hamilton told Sky Sports after the race. "At Copse for example, the two of us went through there with no problem. What a battle. Really, really amazing weeke

George Russell: F1 must learn lessons from Zhou Guanyu crash

 George Russell said Formula One has to learn the safety lessons from Zhou Guanyu's huge crash at the British Grand Prix, which saw his car vault over a barrier and get stuck in a small gap. Russell and Pierre Gasly were involved in the collision with Zhou, which flipped the Alfa Romeo upside down before it skidded off the track. After the crash, Russell ran from his car to the tire barrier, where Zhou's car was stuck while he was extracted from his car. "It was horrible, in that position he was stuck there, nothing he could have done," Russell, who is also a director for the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, said: "We need to think to avoid a car being stuck in such a fine gap. "The space between the barriers and the metal fence and he was just stuck in there, nowhere to go. Yeah, something to learn." Zhou credited Formula One's Halo cockpit device, which sits above the heads of drivers, for saving his life. The Chinese driver was released from
