Red Bull's brake issue with Max Verstappen was likely caused by a set-up choice, according to the brake manufacturer...
The brake issue encountered by Max Verstappen in Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix may have been caused by a set-up choice.
It was Verstappen’s first mechanical retirement since the same race at the start of the 2022 season, and it put an end to a remarkable run of races as the Dutch driver was closing in on a 10th consecutive race win – had he won in Australia, he’d have matched his own record, set last year. With Verstappen taking the retirement in good spirits, team boss Christian Horner explained what had unfolded from Red Bull’s perspective.
“We’ve had two years of no mechanical DNFs, which has been remarkable, so it’s a matter of understanding what’s caused it, learning from it, and moving on.”Fastest F1 pit stops: Red Bull set new 2024 season benchmark at Albert Park “So, hopefully, there’s something more in the Red Bull data that just wasn’t discussed. We saw Ocon had an issue with a tear-off in his brake duct so, if you have this runaway brake temperature, is the first thing you should really consider doing with the car. You don’t want to take a pit stop then, but that’s better than the DNF and the blowout situation that we had.
