Hamilton was adjudged to have been ‘predominantly’ to blame for the crash which occurred on the opening lap of the Silverstone race aꦛt Copse, with the Mercedes driver handed a 10-second time penalty.

Despite this, Hamilton was able to win the race and cut Ver🦄stappen’s championship lead down to just eight points with the Red Bull driver taken out of the race in a 51G impact that required a hospital visit for precautionary checks.

After indicating that it would push for further action to be taken against Hamilton, Red Bull has now formally launched a challenge to review the incident, with the FIA officially confirminꦛg Red Bull's submitted petition on Tuesday afternoon.

A video confeꦓrenc🌼e hearing will take place on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix to review the matter.

Up to three representatives from Mercedes and Red Bull are required to attend the virtual meeting at 4pm loca🌠l time on Thursday afternoon in Budapest.

Reflectꦉing on the incident ൩before it was announced that Red Bull had exercised its right to request a review, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said:  “Everyone has their own opinion on the events of Silverstone and it was a very polarising incident.

“However, the most important thing is that Max is🥀 okay. It’s never nice to see a car crashing, particularly at such high speeds and a♋t a corner like that, so we’re glad he emerged from the accident unscathed.”

How likely is it Red Bull will succeed?

Red Bull’s request to review the incident underlines that it remains unmoved in its belief tha🌊t Hamilton was deserving of a harsher penalty.

But for the FIA to make a U-turn and agree that a review should take place - and potential retrospective new punishment that could affect the result of the British GP be dished out - Red Bull needs to present new and signifi🙈cant information.

Thursday’s meeting is only for the stewards to ꧃examine any new evidence brought to the table by Red Bull and determine whether or not a review is via🔴ble.

Red Bull could offer a witness statement from Verstappen which was not available at the time due to him being taken to hospital. It has also been claimed that the team has new data which shows Hamilton’s entry speꦕed ಌinto Copse was faster on the first lap than at any other time during the race.

Whatever information Red Bull offers, it must 🍌be deemed ‘significant’ and ‘relevant’ for the matter to be re-examined.

History would suggest it is unlikely that Red Bull will be successful in its attempts to get the stewards🥃' decision overturned and Hamilton’s penaꦬlty increased.

The FIA rejected Ferrari’s right to review request after the 2019 Canadian G♛rand Prix when Sebastian Vettel lost a win due to being handed a time penalty for forcing Hamilton off t🌺rack.

On that occasion, Ferrari had presented post-race video analysis by Sky Sports F1 pun💟dit Karun Chandhok ♓as ‘new evidence’, as well as Vettel’s witness statement, but their argument was ultimately dismissed.
