Christian Horner gutted after Max Verstappen damage denied 'slam dunk' British GP win

Christian Horner claimed Max Verstappen was denied a "slam dunk" win at the British Grand Prix by the piece of stray debris which ruined his race.

Verstappen started in second place, and on Lap 10 overtook pole-sitter Carlos Sainz to lead the race. But the Red Bull delight did not last for long, as it soon became apparent that the Dutchman was struggling with a problem.

The defending champion ran over some debris, and clearly lost performance as he was overtaken by both Ferraris before he dove into the pits for fresh tyres. He had assumed it was a puncture, but further analysis revealed it was a bodywork issue affecting downforce, as Verstappen declared the car was "100% broken".
