Brundle: Red Bull claim to have damning Hamilton data
20th July 2021, ‎13‎:‎45

The Formula 1 pundit has revealed Red Bull have evidence that Lewis Hamilton entered Copse corner on lap one significantly quicker than any other time in the race.

Formula 1 pundit Martin Brundle has revealed that Red Bull have data to prove that Lewis Hamilton entered Copse corner on the first lap faster than any other occasion during the British Grand Prix.
Hamilton collided with title rival Max Verstappen on the opening lap at Copse at high-speed which resulted in the Red Bull driver retiring from the race. Red Bull are yet to rule out an appeal and Brundle says the team may have new evidence which would be needed to make an appeal to the FIA.
"Red Bull felt it was a professional foul, an intentional accident from Hamilton," Brundle wrote in his post-race Sky Sports F1 column. "They were incandescent, their potential world champion was bruised, their car expensively wrecked in this new cost cap era, and with possible grid penalties to come from any engine and ancillary damage.

"They would score zero points from the race and both championship leads would be seriously eroded. I am told by Red Bull there is data to prove Lewis was significantly faster into Copse than at any other time and he would not have made the corner without running wide, and inevitably contacting Max.
"Presumably, that will be made publicly available and if Red Bull feel they have 'new evidence' they may well make an appeal to the FIA as to their perceived degree of fault and leniency regarding Hamilton."
Brundle thinks the 10-second time penalty for Hamilton means the stewards saw it as a 70/30 incident with the blame, going towards the seven-time world champion. He also feels that a collision between Hamilton and Verstappen was inevitable.

Can Red Bull's lawsuit against Mercedes succeed?

Recently news emerged that Red Bull Racing is taking legal action against Mercedes regarding the time penalty the Briton received for his incident with Max Verstappen in the first lap of the Silverstone Grand Prix. But on what grounds can Red Bull Racing take this legal action? What are the possibilities?

Helmut Marko had been quite clear earlier and Christian Horner was also adamant: "If you put a driver in hospital and you still win the GP, even with the penalty, it doesn't feel like a penalty," Horner said after Hamilton's win. Red Bull has 14 days to submit a letter of intent for the right to reassess to the FIA, according to Motorsport-magazin.com. If they decide to do so, the stewards of the race in question must first rule on whether the evidence presented is important and new. If so, the case will be reopened.

Red Bull Formula 1 team principal Christian Horner says Mercedes’ lobbying of the stewards during the British Grand Prix was “unacceptable” and should not be allowed.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff visited the stewards to argue his team’s view of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s controversial collision on the opening lap of Sunday’s race at Silverstone.

Horner later went to see the stewards in person himself after finding out that Wolff had been to put forward Mercedes’ case.
