Vettel: ritiro non causato dalla rottura dei freni


News di Daniele Muscarella

Un comunicato stampa della Brembo chiarisce definitivamente le cause del ritiro della Red Bull di Vettel.
Dopo la candela (o il serbatoio?!) di Bahrain, questa volta a tradire Vettel sarebbe stato niente meno che l'asse della ruota anteriore sinistra e non il sistema frenante fornito da Brembo come erroneamente riportato da alcune pubblicazioni.

Stezzano, 30th March 2010. "With regard to the retirement of the Red Bull Racing’s driver Sebastian Vettel during the Grand Prix of Australia, Brembo communicates that the cause of his exit in Turn 13 was not caused by the braking system supplied by Brembo, as some publications have reported.
Red Bull Racing has confirmed that Sebastian Vettel retired from the Australian Grand Prix after the torque drive between the front left axle and wheel was lost.
Post race investigations revealed the wheel nut was correctly tightened at the pitstop as well as other possible causes of the fault.
The team has communicated that it's studying a number of solutions at present, which can be implemented for the Malaysian Grand Prix
