Charles Leclerc will test the brakes of another supplier.
The story about the Brembo brakes on Charles Leclerc's car, which the driver claimed caused his retirement in Monaco, has continued. First, Brembo released an official statement disapproving of Charles' words, and on Thursday in Barcelona, the Ferrari driver mentioned that he would test components of the braking system produced by Carbon Industrie this weekend, which are already on Lewis Hamilton's car.
Charles Leclerc: "We will slightly change the brake configuration. How much will this change the car's behavior? To understand this, we first need to test everything.
I don't expect revolutionary changes, but I do hope that in some cases the car will become easier to handle. Overall, stability in the car's behavior is what I need.
Some time ago, my team and I decided to work on cars with different brake configurations, and in the last two weekends, I encountered more difficulties than I initially anticipated. Now we will move in the same direction as Lewis.
This weekend we brought quite a few new items. The team has done a huge amount of work to prepare new solutions and updates for the car. I am confident that they will help us improve, and I can't wait to try them on the track along with other changes I mentioned earlier.
For me, the first practice will be especially important. It is necessary to understand the features of all the new items, feel confident behind the wheel, and do everything possible to maximize the car's potential by the start of qualifying."
