Hamilton: “Retirement caused by brake problems”

Lewis Hamilton regrets his retirement from the Canadian GP, ​​caused by a problem with the hybrid system when he was in second position.

“I had a brake failure. I can't say anything else,” commented Hamilton. “We also had power problems but the retirement was caused by a brake failure. We had problems and that's why we didn't win. Nico also had some problems but he still managed to finish second, this is the only positive side of the race”.

Toto Wolff explained in more detail the technical problem suffered by both Mercedes: “A very difficult race for us. The problem started on the electric motor and then on the brakes. When Lewis pitted his brake temperatures rose and he lost his entire braking system. We have seen that the situation can change very quickly, we need to understand what happened and come back strong again in Austria."
