SILVERSTONE -- Red Bull says Max Verstappen's late stop was the most sensible thing to do after seeing Kimi Raikkonen suffer a tyre dramatic tyre delamination.
Raikkonen's dramatic tyre issue came with three laps remaining, with Verstappen running fifth behind Sebastian Vettel. However, the teenager had also been suffering from severe tyre degradation and Red Bull decided to call him in immediately after seeing Raikkonen's delamination to pit for a fresh set of tyres to avoid a similar incident.
Eventually, the stop turned out to have been a sensible call, as Vettel suffered a front left puncture in the other Ferrari, allowing Verstappen to jump to fourth.
