Brembo Responds to Leclerc's Brake Failure Explanation in Monaco
Charles Leclerc attributed his crash at the Monaco Grand Prix to a brake failure and said he would change the solution at the next race. Brembo stated it was premature to draw definitive conclusions without sufficient analysis.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc said the crash he experienced in the final laps of the Monaco Grand Prix was caused by a brake failure. Leclerc explained that three of the four brakes on his car malfunctioned, with the rear brakes not working at all.
During the race in Monaco, Leclerc crashed at the last corner while preparing for the restart of lap 66 after the Safety Car period. This incident was the second crash in seven laps at the Antony Noghès section of the track, prompting race control to display the red flag due to asphalt degradation on the outside.
Leclerc did not hide his frustration over the radio, signaling his team about the brakes. He later insisted that the crash was caused by his Ferrari’s brakes, not by the tarmac or his own error.
Leclerc: "Three of my brakes were not working"
Leclerc told reporters in Monaco that the front left brake was working well, the front right brake was performing at half capacity, and the two rear brakes were completely out of order, with data showing almost no deceleration.
He announced that for the next race, the Spanish Grand Prix, his teammate Lewis Hamilton would switch to his brake setup. Hamilton has been using a carbon disc solution for years, which reportedly works with Brembo calipers.
Brembo speaks cautiously
Brembo, the brake system supplier, described Leclerc’s statements as premature conclusions. The company said the causes of the incident are not yet known and that data analysis is necessary to reach a definitive technical conclusion.
Brembo’s statement highlighted its over 50-year collaboration with Ferrari. The company emphasized that telemetry data must be reviewed together with the team engineers to clearly determine the cause of the crash.
The statement also addressed Brembo’s position in Formula 1, noting that the company provides brake technologies for all cars on the grid and that F1 teams have continued to prefer Brembo solutions for their reliability, innovation, and performance over the years.
Brembo confirmed it will continue investing in innovation, reliability, and performance, and will maintain its collaboration with Ferrari and other F1 teams.
