It wouldn't be surprising if last year's race still left a slightly sour taste in the Red Bull garage. F1
With memories of last year’s event – and the first-lap collision at Copse between Verstappen and– still fresh in the mind, though, it is clear Silverstone is not just another race in the minds of Red Bull.
After appearing to finally crack the code of the porpoising-prone W13 car in last month’s Spanish GP, where the team felt Hamilton could have challenged for victory were it not for a first-lap puncture, the Monaco-Baku-Montreal portion of the calendar arguably came at a bad time in Mercedes’ recovery from a troubled start to the season.
Leclerc has emerged as something of a Silverstone specialist in recent years having dragged Ferrari’s worst car in a generation to the podium in 2020 before leading much of the race last year after You-Know-What. Not for the first time in his career, Alonso managed to confuse his team’s computers with his dazzling speed at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, though his first front-row start in a decade came to nothing as his race slowly fell apart through strategy and unreliability.
Pierre Gasly’s fifth place in Baku remains his only points finish in the last six races, while Yuki Tsunoda, despite brief flashes of progress, continues to drive team principal Franz Tost to despair.
