Has Red Bull found Mercedes' weakness?

If the last two races at Silverstone have taught us anything, it's that the current breed of Formula One cars are incredibly sensitive machines. From one weekend to the next, we saw the same drivers in the same cars on the same circuit produce two very different results at the front of the field.

But was Sunday's 70th Anniversary Grand Prix simply an outlier in a season of Mercedes dominance or has Red Bull exposed a true weakness in the W11's package?
