Red Bull boss claims crash at Copse resulted from pressure on Lewis Hamilton

Christian Horner has stated that every driver on the grid feels pressure. And the crash at Copse corner was a result of building pressure on Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton going into the race had lost 5 races in a row and finished behind Max in the sprint race.

“Had Max made it through Copse, I don’t think Hamilton would have seen him again that afternoon as he learned in the previous day’s Sprint Race,” said Horner.

“No matter how experienced or talented, all drivers experience a build-up of pressure and this was a moment of extreme pressure for Hamilton in the championship, becoming the hunter as opposed to the hunted, And in front of his home crowd, who saw him defeated the previous day at a track that has always been a Mercedes stronghold,” Horner concluded.
