The British Grand Prix which looked so promising for Red Bull Racing, has now unravelled into a proper nightmare for the Austrians.
Max Verstappen's struggles with his tyre longevity, compounded when Oscar Piastri broke heavily into Stowe, and then accelerated, prompting the Dutch driver's spin coming out of the corner which saw him drop like a stone down the order, which got the Aussie driver penalised with a ten-second time penalty.
Then Verstappen complained regarding the speed, or lack thereof, in his RB21 on the onboard radio: "I can't even stay with them, I'm so slow."

Tsunoda penalised with 10 seconds

Yuki Tsunoda's stint at Red Bull Racing doesn't seem to improve. The Japanese driver has been slapped with a ten-second time penalty for causing a collision with Haas driver Oliver Bearman as they both battled for position going into Luffield.

The race for Red Bull Racing, unless any other surprises come during the race, has effectively been ruined, despite the promise it showed on the eve of the start.
