According to some rumors that emerged on the web after the Australian F1 GP, there would be structural problems with the braking system at the basis of Max Verstappen's retirement
Once the third F1 round of the season with the Australian GP has been archived, more and more doubts arise regarding the problem suffered by Max Verstappen which then forced him to raise the white flag to the fifth turn of the race. All kinds of hypotheses have been made on the web to try to understand what really happened to the RB20 of the Dutch champion. The pilot born in Hasset in Belgium thus interrupted his incredible streak 43 gare consecutively always finishing in points. In fact, the last retirement of the world champion dates back to the 2022 Australian GP, a zero in the points box that leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Initially, the problem was identified by Red Bull as a hydraulic problem which did not allow the braking system to function correctly. At the home of the Austrian team, however, there is a lot of concern about what happened. We would also like to remind you that the Dutch driver had also had his power unit changed before the race.

Apparently, however, the damage would be more serious than expected. According to insiders, there are rumors of a structural problem encountered by the Italian company Brembo during the design of the braking system. Nothing official for now, but the air is one of tension and concern. The same problem can be traced back to the one encountered by Charles Leclerc during the Bahrain GP, with the Monegasque having to fight throughout the race even with his SF-24. If this were the case, it would be serious damage to the image of the company based in Stezzano in the Bergamo area.
Nothing certain or official for the moment, but the unknowns remain and we will try as quickly as possible to give an explanation to the problems that both Verstappen and Leclerc have encountered.
