Valtteri Bottas: Brake Overheating

Rotowire4 days ago

Bottas suffered a mechanical failure and finished 21st in the Monaco Grand Bearman retired early Prix Formula 1 race at The Circuit de Monaco on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Another tough qualifying session would put Bottas 20th on the starting grid and facing an uphill battle in Monaco. The Cadillac F1 veteran would suffer a failure of brake cooling in the early laps and would have to employ a lift and coast strategy to combat the extreme temperatures. The team would send him to the box on lap 15 and retire the car due to brake overheating. Bottas would become the second DNF of the day following Max Verstappen.
