Red Bull has opted for a standard rear wing at Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix, following two high-speed collisions involving Max Verstappen. The four-time world champion said the car's wing felt "super-dangerous" at Silverstone, where he crashed chasing third place. Laurent Mekies, Red Bull's team principal, informed the BBC that an issue with the new wing was identified during testing conducted after the Silverstone event.
