Overheating brakes triggered heavy Magnussen crash in F1 Mexico GP
Kevin Magnussen, the Haas driver, crashed during the Mexican Grand Prix due to a suspected left rear track rod failure. He was able to climb out of the car on his own, but the damage caused a red flag and he was taken to the medical centre. However, he was deemed fit and returned to the paddock. The crash occurred because the brake temperatures were too high as Magnussen defended from Logan Sargeant. After the impact, a brake fire started around the left rear of the car. The team later confirmed that the suspension failure was caused by heat from the brakes. Despite the extensive damage, the team has enough spare parts for the rest of the season. Magnussen mentioned that he experienced a loss of grip before the crash and will discuss it with the team. He sustained a minor injury to his hands but stated that he was fine.
