Max Verstappen: We are too slow

      Max Verstappen finished sixth in the sprint of the British Grand Prix, despite starting third. The Red Bull Racing driver explained this result by saying that he couldn't compete with his rivals due to increased tire degradation.

      Max Verstappen: "It's simple – we are just too slow. My car was sliding more in the corners than the cars of the competitors next to me, and my most serious problems were at high speeds. I just couldn't keep up the same pace as my rivals.

      When I tried to stay close, the car started to slide even more, which only increased tire degradation."
