No brakes 😳🫠 I didn’t say what happened on Instagram, but I feel comfortable in saying it here. Really unfortunate and scary mechanical issue in race 1 today. I got a big tank slapper coming out of turn 8 going over the crest on Lap 5 and it pushed my pads out, and as I went to brake into Turn 10 - 11, the lever went into the bar 😳 it took a whole lap for the brakes to then come back properly, but due to the pistons being pushed in, it also pushed air through the lines, so the brakes were incredibly inconsistent for the remaining laps of the race.

It was the second time it happened today, with the same thing happening in warm up this morning. Tank slappers happen frequently at Portimao, and I’ve had plenty of them since the official test, but the pads have never pushed themself in.. now today - twice 😳

This isn’t one of those mechanical issues that is due to negligence so is by no means anything that my team did. They did however find some very worn out parts that they think are the reason it happened. A few parts have now been replaced, and fingers crossed, we have a better run in race 2 🚀
