4 months agoF1 brakes are air cooled…
so it was precisely because he slowed down entering the pit and did not have enough (fast moving) air to cool the brakes
Yup I was explaining why it was no coincidence the fire appeared while entering pits and not out on the track…
Had max and the team decided to let him drive a few more laps albeit the smoke coming from the rears… absolutely would have caught fire on the tracks
