Two years ago, Max Verstappen withdrew from the Australian Grand Prix due to a fuel system failure, and today the right rear brake of his car locked up, which of course did not allow the world championship leader to stay on the track any longer. then the first few laps.
Max Verstappen: “As far as we could see with telemetry, the right rear brake started to lock from the very beginning of the race and it is clear that the temperature started to rise. It was like driving without releasing the handbrake.
I immediately felt that the car was behaving strangely in some corners, the rear end was becoming more and more nervous. From the start of the weekend everything went well for us, I was happy with the team’s performance, but if your brakes stick, it doesn’t help.
I repeat: this was felt almost from the very beginning. It is not yet clear what the problem is, but we will certainly find out. I can’t even remember if we had similar problems before; if so, it was a very long time ago.
