Max Verstappen arrived at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix on a high after an upswing in his Red Bull's performance. But after crashing out of the Formula 1 race, after a rear wing issue, the four-time champion sounded despondent

Red Bull must now face the possibility that he will leave the team, or even Formula 1, at the end of the season, says Mark Hughes in the latest episode of the Motor Sport F1 Show.

He and host Bryn Lucas examine what Verstappen's options are, and what went wrong last weekend.

At the opposite end of the scale, Charles Leclerc's fortunes changed for the better; after struggling in this year's Ferrari, which was designed with Lewis Hamilton's influence, it all clicked for Leclerc who raced to victory. What changed, and did Ferrari let Hamilton have too much influence? All is not as simple as it seems,

Mark and Bryn also talk about the discontent over the race ending under the safety car; why reliability is becoming a Mercedes bugbear; and whether F1 should reintroduce refuelling.

Plus, Mark answers your questions on matte paint, Honda's F1 record, and solutions to the safety car problem.
