GP Silverstone – Red Bull complains about problems after weak training: “Miles away”

“It was a difficult day and not what we expected,” he said. “The car feels completely different than how we prepared it in the simulator.” The Red Bull is “miles away” from that.

Perez spoke of some “aerodynamic issues” that he didn’t elaborate on, but which the team had to sort out by Saturday. “We understand what’s going on, but in the end it’s important that we get a grip on it,” he said. “We’re a bit behind at the moment.”

For him, the bad feeling followed seamlessly after the last race in Canada: “That was the first time that it didn’t work out for me in the RB18,” he said. “So for me this weekend is about getting that great feeling back and getting on the podium.”

Before the weekend, “Checo” was still optimistic that Red Bull would be in a good position. His mood changed after Friday: “It’s going to be quite difficult. But we’ve done it before and if I get my confidence back then it should be fine.”

Max Verstappen: “Not a big problem”

As usual, teammate and world championship leader Max Verstappen was less worried. Because you didn’t drive in the first practice session, that was second workout always a guessing game. “Usually you build on the first practice session. It wasn’t ideal, but it wasn’t a big problem either,” he said.

“Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t work very well,” he continued. “And this time it wasn’t very good. But it wasn’t really bad either. We’re there and we can still look at a few things.”

He stressed that Red Bull knew what to work on. “And we will try to do that overnight. And tomorrow it will probably rain again, so the conditions will be completely different then.”
