Was Red Bull gamble with Max Verstappen too big a risk?

Join RacingNews365's Ian Parkes, Sam Coop and Nick Golding, as they answer your F1 fan questions from the British Grand Prix! Why Oscar Piastri received a huge victory-costing penalty at Silverstone is a lead question, given that George Russell was not penalised for a similar incident in the Canadian GP. Max Verstappen's low downforce set-up is also discussed, following a question on whether Red Bull took too big a risk fitting a Monza-spec rear wing to the Dutchman's RB21. On the topic of the Dutchman, an intriguing question is also asked as to whether he would be allowed to take race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase to Mercedes, if he decides to move.
