Max Verstappen has excoriated his Red Bull Formula 1 team after suffering a high-speed, rear-wing-induced incident for a second successive weekend.

An apparent moveable aero issue on the rear had pitched Verstappen into the barriers during Q3 at the Red Bull Ring last Saturday, and the same happened during the British Grand Prix as he tipped into Stowe - though this time his Red Bull came to a halt in the gravel rather than reaching the barrier.

He didn't mince his words in the immediate aftermath, radioing in - among other things - "f**k this car" and angrily throwing his steering wheel out of the cockpit.

Talking to media after the race, Verstappen said the Stowe exit was "like Austria, but different fault that's ended up in the same outcome".

"Again, while turning into the corner, the rear wing is not fully attaching. And you lose a lot of downforce for that. Just spin off the track."

Of the radio message, he said: "Well, at that point it's super dangerous, because you can really hurt yourself, two times! I was lucky in Austria, I was lucky here, but that's why you get really fed up with it."

Team principal Laurent Mekies said Verstappen was "right to be unhappy" and did not rule out Red Bull reverting to its previous, start-of-season rear wing concept.

Asked by The Race's Jon Noble whether Red Bull was committed to its 'macarena'-style wing, Mekies said: "The answer, Jon, is that we will do whatever is necessary to be on the safe side."

Attrition at that point in the race - Verstappen went off at the end of lap 47 of 52 - looked set to hand Verstappen a third-place finish. "Even if we would have finished on the podium, you take it, but it's not deserved at all," he said.

"On the hard tyres we were really slow. I don't know how I kept George [Russell] and Lewis [Hamilton] behind for so long. The whole weekend I had a terrible balance, no top speed compared to the other car [Isack Hadjar's] as well in the garage.

"And then the race was exactly the same, which I already predicted."

Verstappen said Red Bull went against his wish to start from the pitlane as "they were maybe confident to fix it - which I was not".

"I'm trying my best with everything. That's the only thing I can do.

"It would take a very zen person to be optimistic at the moment, with what happened again this weekend. I'm sorry, but it's just like that. I need a few days to reset and try again.

"At the moment too many things go wrong. It's as simple as that. Not even speaking about pace."

Verstappen is believed to have a mechanism in his contract that would enable him to be a free agent at the end of this season.

There are no clear alternatives for 2027, with Mercedes' line-up thought to be locked down and no other frontrunning team possessing the roster flexibility - but it is far from a given that Verstappen will race in 2027 at all, given his dissatisfaction with the current formula.

On whether his Silverstone experience impacted his future with Red Bull, he insisted: "Ah, I'm not going to say anything about that. It's not fair to say anything about that also right now."
