Thank fuck this didn't happen at race speed
Or in front of the pit crew 😬
That could have gotten painful
F1 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
With the brake stuck it wouldve still overheated and caught fire regardless of the amount of cooling.
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
I think It could've also happened on track just before entering the pits, he was limping home for what felt like at least half the track. But luckily it didn't I guess.
Yeah, how else would they be cooled? That changes nothing about my statement
