Verstappen’s British Gra🌱nd Prix ended on the opening lap after contact with titl🌱e rival Lewis Hamilton into Copse corner.

The Dutchman’s Red Bull was completely destroyed, severely damaging hꦜis chassis.

Horner said that Verst🐬appen’s crash will have “massive ramifications in a budget cap era”.

“The other significa𒁏nt f🐬actor is the cost-cap element of this,” Horner wrote in his column on Red Bull’s official website. “That crash has cost us approximately $1.8million and an accident like that has massive ramifications in a budget cap era.”

After the incident, it was hinted that Red Bull might push for the stewards to give Hamilton an additional penalty after it felt the 10-second time penalty he receive♕d from the s༺tewards mid-race.

Horner suggested that Red Bull i𓆉s still considering this option.

“It is no secret tha🔯t we felt at the time, and still fee🔜l, that Hamilton was given a light penalty for this type of incident,” Horner added.

“Given the severity of the incident and the lenient penalty, we a🏅re reviewing all data and have the right to request a r💦eview. We are therefore still looking at the evidence and considering all of our sporting options.”

Red Bull has 14 days after the conclu🐻sion of the British GP to ask for a reꦗview.

The stewards can revie♊w the incident💙 if Red Bull has new evidence.

Finally, Hor🍷ner believes had the crash not occurred, Verstappen would have taken a comfortable win at Silverstone.

“Had Max made it through Copse, I don't think Hamilton would have seen him again that afternoon as he learned in the previous day’s sprint race,” Horner explained. “No matter how experienc꧅ed or talented, all drivers experience a build-up of pressure at times and this was a moment of extreme pressure for Hamilton in the championship, becoming the hunter as opposed to the hunted, and in f💮ront of his home crowd who saw him defeated the previous day at a track that has always been a Mercedes stronghold. 

“We all know that these situations can bring out a different driving style and one that is not characteristic of a world champion, but it is at these times that w𒐪e see the increased risk.”
