Arguably the most exciting race of the season, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone is ahead of us this weekend. F1 teams will once again give their everything on the track and hopefully produce another cracker of a race. But the Red Bull F1 team might be heading into Silverstone with a different mindset amid the Max Verstappen accident last season.
The 2021 British GP was a pivotal race in the championship last season. Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton collided famously at the corpse corner, which altered the picture of the title race. So heading into Silverstone, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner claims that they have revenge on their minds.
“Silverstone was rather difficult for us last year. We went there with a good lead from Mercedes, as will happen this year with Ferrari, so it is important for us to maintain this momentum. We have put together a great series of races, and we are all doing a great job. Silverstone is one of the best circuits on the calendar.”
“Also, this year there will be a record turnout of the public, and I’m sure there will be a great support for the Mercedes drivers, but we will go there energized and try to take revenge on what happened last year,” said Horner. [Translated by Google]

The Red Bull team boss mentions that it would be the Italian team who might be favorites in Silverstone as the track suits them better. He also hinted that they might have a performance advantage on them throughout the weekend as well.
“Looking at pure performance, one would say that, as happened in Barcelona, it will be a race to Ferrari’s advantage. I heard that there will also be some updates on Ferrari, so it will be an interesting Grand Prix,” said the Red Bull team boss.
