British Grand Prix 2026: Verstappen crash reports

BBC Sport, Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that a rear-wing issue put Max Verstappen out at Silverstone, with Red Bull investigating.

BBC Sport, Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that Max Verstappen went out of the British Grand Prix after an apparent rear-wing problem sent his Red Bull off at Stowe. Autosport and Motorsport.com said the incident came with six laps remaining, while BBC Sport reported that Verstappen later called the failure "super-dangerous".

Autosport and Motorsport.com also reported that Verstappen had been dealing with other car issues during the weekend and that Red Bull was investigating before Spa. Both outlets said the British Grand Prix problem and the previous rear-wing failure were understood to be different faults, even if the result was similar.

The supplied material does not include a primary confirmation, so this remains a reported account. Verstappen was seventh in the 2026 drivers' championship on 76 points at this stage, and the Dutch driver had 71 wins, 51 poles and 129 podiums from 242 Formula 1 starts.
