Verstappen: Red Bull "needs to understand" F1 US GP brake issue
Max Verstappen won his 50th career victory and 15th win of the season at the Circuit of the Americas, despite facing pressure from Lewis Hamilton due to a brake problem. Verstappen complained about his brakes throughout the race, and although he managed to finish ahead of Hamilton, he dropped time in the closing laps. Red Bull changed Verstappen’s brakes overnight between the sprint race and the grand prix, but they did not perform well. Verstappen has asked the team to investigate the issue further. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner stated that the brake issue affected Verstappen’s pace and tyre temperatures, making it difficult to determine the exact impact on his performance.
