Video: Vettel the first retirement of the Italian Grand Prix due to brake problem
- GPblog.com
Sebastian Vettel has become the first dropout from the Italian Grand Prix. The German was already riding in the back of midfield, when he suffered from his brakes after a few laps. When he arrived at the first corner, his brakes gave up completely and he shot hard straight ahead.
As a result, he shot spectacularly through the signs and eventually managed to keep his car under control. After a quiet lap over Monza, the Ferrari driver plunged into the pit lane to park his car in the garage. This made Vettel the first dropout, while his teammate Charles Leclerc was driving outside the points.
