168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has revealed that Red Bull saw warning signs of a potential i𓃲ssue prior to his retirement at t🉐he Australian Grand Prix.

Verstappen suffered his first DNF in two years last time out at Albert Park, retiring aftꩵer just four laps.

The reigning world champion had lost the lead of the racꦆe before his brakes caught fire.

Brake supplier Brembo insisted the issue on Verstappen’s car - and the one that plagued 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - were not their fault, but the team’s decision.

They noted: “A♛fter an investigation at each team, the problems that Leclerc and Verstappen had are not related to Brembo component anomalies or material malfunctions.

“In both cases the problem came from a wr🌊ong setup/team choice regarding the car configuration so there is not a direct Brembo responsibility on both car problems.”

Speaking ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, Verstappen confirmed that Red Bull suspected s✨omething was wrong but couldn’t iden🐟tify what.

“I think we saw already some some signs on Saturday where things were maybe not looking like they should h🃏ave done,” he said.

“Of course then now in hindsight, yeah, you can say th🎃at it was coming from the brake calliper. But we couldn’t find any fault with the car.

“It’s always bad to retire, but when you have a꧑ fault in maybe the build spec or whatever, then it’s a bit worse. So we’ll just move on from there and learn from it so that it doesn’t happen aga𒀰in. But normally it shouldn’t.”

Verstappen enjoyed one o💟f his most dominant displays of the season at last year’s Japanese GP.

He took pole✤ by over 0.6s before storming to the race win by 19 seconds.

Looking ahead to this weekend, Verstappen remains confident of re🀅turning to winning ways given Red Bull’s prowess in high-speed corners.

“Every year is♔ different,” he said. “But also last year we had a bit of a difficult weekend in Singapore.

“I think if you look at Melbourne, 𝐆perfo🔯rmance-wise, I think we were quick but we didn’t finish the race. That’s not ideal. But our car normally likes the high speed corners, so hopefully that we can show that again this weekend.”
