Max Verstappen warned his Red Bull team that the issues with his car are "getting very dangerous for me" after he crashed out of Sunday's British GP.

It was his second consecutive high-speed crash caused by problems with his car's rear wing, following a similar accident in practice in Austria.

"The rear wing just doesn't close. It remains open and you lose a lot of rear downforce and that is why the car spins off the track. When it happens once, it fine, but two times... it is getting very dangerous for me because you can really hurt yourself," said the four-time world champion.
