Max Verstappen expressed serious concerns about the rear wing failure on his Red Bull Racing car, which resulted in crashes during two consecutive Grands Prix, labeling the situation as "super-dangerous."

During the British Grand Prix on July 9, Verstappen was in pursuit of Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari for second place when he lost control at the high-speed Stowe corner on lap 48. This incident followed a similar crash during qualifying at the Austrian Grand Prix, attributed to the rear wing failing to close properly during corner entry.

Verstappen voiced his frustration over the team radio post-accident, stating:

"It's super-dangerous because you can really hurt yourself two times. I was lucky in Austria, I was lucky here. That's why you get really fed up with it."

He clarified that while the failures were different, they led to the same dangerous outcome:

• Rear wing not fully attaching while turning in
• Resulting in significant loss of downforce and spinning off

Currently, Verstappen sits seventh in the championship standings, trailing Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes by 103 points after nine races, three of which he has retired due to car issues.

Reflecting on the season, he remarked:

"I would be a very zen person to be optimistic at the moment with what happened again this weekend. It's painful for everyone that this has happened. I want to just finish races, first of all. That would be nice."

Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies acknowledged Verstappen's frustrations, stating that the team takes the issue seriously and is committed to preventing such failures in the future. He emphasized the unpleasantness of letting drivers down, particularly in high-speed scenarios.
