Charles Leclerc openly blamed his Monaco Grand Prix crash on a catastrophic brake failure, claims his supplier Brembo met with "great astonishment." Leclerc, set for a home podium, reported three of his four brakes failed after a safety car restart. He detailed the front-right was only half-working, with both rear brakes showing "no deceleration at all" on data. This follows prior brake inconsistencies in Montreal.
Brembo quickly pushed back, calling Leclerc’s statements "premature." The long-time Ferrari partner emphasized the reliability of their components and stated they require telemetry analysis with the team before any conclusions. Despite Brembo's position, Leclerc insisted the data was "very clear" and the problem was already solved. He plans to switch to a "Lewis configuration" for the Barcelona Grand Prix, a potential nod to paddock rumors of Hamilton using Carbone Industrie brakes. This brake saga adds another layer of intrigue as Ferrari pushes to challenge Red Bull for the championship.
