Talking to Peter Windsor after Max Verstappen's race-ending spin at Silverstone, caused by a rear DRS (drag reduction system) problem, Mark Slade explains why we shouldn't have had active aero on the 2026 cars in the first place and why the system remains "exceptionally dangerous".
Mark Slade played a major role in two World Championships, 34 GP wins, 101 podiums and 40 pole positions while serving as a Race Engineer and Chief Engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas.
