He gradually lost pace and returned to pit where crew rushed to extinguish a blaze from his right rear brake. "What we could see so far in the data is as soon as the lights went off the right rear brake just stuck on, and of course the temperature kept on increasing," Verstappen told reporters. Verstappen said his formation lap was fine but he knew there was a problem as soon as the race started.
