On the onboard radio prior to the Grand Prix of Great Britain, Verstappen was joking. From the audio fragments it becomes clear that the Dutchman is joking about the previous race. Verstappen experiences this start as a lot more relaxed than the race in Hungary where the car was ready just before the start.
During the first Safety Car Verstappen also discusses the first lap. Verstappen said he had no luck in the first lap. There Verstappen was held up by Bottas, so Leclerc could almost pass the Dutchman. However, the driver of Red Bull Racing put a stop to that.
