Australian GP Drama: Verstappen’s Pole Position Dreams Dashed by Brake Malfunction

Max Verstappen’s bid for a tenth consecutive win at the Australian Grand Prix came to an abrupt end when his Red Bull car suffered brake box failure on the fifth lap, forcing him to retire from the race he had started from pole position. Verstappen described the experience as akin to driving with the handbrake on, with his engine eventually smoking due to the malfunction.

Despite the disappointment, he acknowledged the inevitability of such setbacks and focused on regrouping for the upcoming Japanese GP, aiming to return stronger after his impressive winning streak.Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc secured a 1-2 finish, while Verstappen’s teammate Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez finished fifth.
