Speaking to Sky Leclerc was clear in emphasizing that the problem was the brakes and that for this reason he will follow Lewis Hamilton, who has already been racing for three races following a different path regarding the brakes.

“The track didn’t help, but it wasn’t the track’s fault – Leclerc’s words – I’ve always taken the blame and my responsibilities even when I wasn’t entirely responsible, but today the data speaks for itself. I didn’t brake, I put my foot on the pedal and got a double braking torque response from the front brake and zero from the rear, all due to a temperature problem“.
