🔴 Hier soir, @Auto_Racer_it a sorti une bombe concernant les problèmes de freins de Ferrari : Brembo semble bien être le responsable. Depuis 2024, Leclerc se plaint des problèmes de freins. Lorsque Lewis Hamilton est arrivé, il a poussé pour travailler avec des freins Carbon Industries, utilisés notamment chez Mercedes. Mais Ferrari a un contrat avec Brembo sur de nombreux sujets en plus de la F1, que l’entreprise italienne a bien maladroitement rappelé hier. Et dans le plus grand des secrets, Maranello a monté des disques de freins Carbone Industries sur la voiture de Lewis, donnant beaucoup plus de confiances au pilote britannique et corroborant les bonnes sensations décrites par Lewis. Enfin, on apprend que Leclerc va maintenant tester le système d’Hamilton dès Barcelone C’est sans doute pour cette raison que Brembo a réagi assez brutalement hier soir. Ça va faire très très mal à ce partenariat. Je ne sais pas comment ça va se conclure mais c’est une bombe gigantesque
They're blaming lewis for choosing the right brakes? 😂😂😂
🔴 Ferrari éligible à l'ADUO d'au moins 4%, ce que ça signifie : - 2 upgrades moteur autorisés en 2026. - 2 upgrades moteur supplémentaires en 2027. - Liberté quasi totale de développement moteur. - Jusqu'à 4,65 M$ de marge supplémentaire sous le budget cap moteur. - +110h d'essais banc moteur. Maintenant reste à savoir quand Maranello va introduire ses mises à jour moteur. Toujours Spa-Francorchamps ou changement de stratégie ?
Ennesimo anno in cui si deve adattare a macchine costruite per altri e prima che facciate la figura degli idioti dicendo che un motivo ci sarà, ricordatevi che negli ultimi 8 anni la Ferrari si è veramente giocata qualcosa solo per il tempo in cui ha seguito lui
I think this is who Lewis is now. Really good raw pace but will probably lack either exec or some race pace, with the occasional mistake. Don’t think it’s enough to be as good as LEC max or ANT over a full szn but for 41 it’s still crazy impressive
Right - here is the awaited thread on Hamilton’s brakes. It’s a long story, so be patient 🧵: I’ll start by saying, in F1 there are a few major components that make up braking systems. These are the discs, the callipers, the master cylinder as well as the pedal setup (stiffness, modulation). Every F1 driver has a unique preferred setup regarding these components - and Hamilton’s was to use Brembo callipers (supplied to all teams) mixed with discs and the master cylinder from Carbone Industrie. He used these at McLaren, and when he moved to Mercedes in 2013 he initially adopted a full Brembo system which he initially struggled with. Why? This is where it gets interesting, and what you see in 2026 is quite similar. CI discs are much larger and more powerful than Brembo discs. A lot more powerful, so much so that for 6 months Brembo were unable to replicate this on Hamilton’s 2013 Mercedes - that he made the switch to CI and the rest was history
"of the 4 brakes, 3 weren't working. in the front left worked well, the front right worked partially, and the two rear brakes didn't work at all. when i say not at all, i mean that there was absolutely no deceleration on the data. it was as if the brake calipers weren't even engaging. That is a minor problem," Leclerc says cynically.
