Haas brake failures caused by insufficient cooling
By: Alex Kalinauckas

Kevin Magnussen retired from last weekend’s race with a dramatic brake failure just before half distance, while Grosjean was later forced out by the same problem.

This followed Grosjean losing much of the first practice for the 2020 season with a brake failure – with the team also appearing to have brake difficulties during winter testing – and significant issues regarding car handling during the previous campaign.

Haas took no “unnecessary risk” with cooling despite issues

https://www.motorsport.com/all/news/haas-austrian-cooling-risk-steiner/4827359/

When asked about if the issue echoed Haas’s past car struggles ahead of this weekend’s Styrian Grand Prix at the same Red Bull Ring venue as last weekend’s event, Grosjean outlined the situation and explained the team has “one more emergency step” to try regarding a fix.

“It’s very different from what we encountered in the past - [last weekend] with brake temperature issues,” he said.

“Yes, it was temperature-related, and obviously our cooling hasn’t been efficient enough – especially into traffic.

“So, yes we are looking at different options to get the brakes under control – it’s never great starting a race knowing that you need to lift and coast to save the brakes by lap two.

“So, yeah – I think the boys have been looking at as many options as they could [for a fix this weekend].

“We have one more emergency step, I believe, in the pocket. But I guess tomorrow morning and afternoon [in practice] will be focused a lot on getting those temps under control.”

Magnussen explained that Haas had had no prior warning of the race-specific brake problem during the initial running last weekend.

“In the race obviously I was getting told to do a lot more lift-and-coast than we had planned for and so I kind of knew there was some kind of problem,” he said.
So yeah, I had a little bit of a warning in the race, but not before that.”

Grosjean also said he was “not too concerned” about the brake issue causing potential problems for Haas’s drivers when it comes to trusting the VF-20’s behaviour.

“[Confidence starts] with the first lap in free practice one – where we had a brake failure [last weekend],” he explained.

“So, seven-eight months out of racing it was a bit of a non-good start.

“But the boys have been working as hard as they can and I’ve got confidence that at least for qualy and short runs it will be absolutely under control – long runs we need to look at every option that we have.

“If you know that the first lap everything is under control, and it’s all braking as it should, then you can just build from there.”

Hamilton warned of ‘consequences’ over Kaepernick F1 helmet plan
By: Luke Smith, Jul 9, 2020, 3:28 PM

Lewis Hamilton has revealed he was warned of “potential consequences” for racing with a helmet paying tribute to Colin Kaepernick that forced him to abandon the plan.

Amid ongoing activism against racism around the world, Hamilton has been the leading voice in F1 condemning racial injustice.

He was joined by 13 other drivers in taking a knee before the start of last Sunday’s Austrian Grand Prix, a gesture made famous by American football player Kaepernick in 2016 in a protest against racial injustice and police brutality. Hamilton revealed after the race that he had planned to run a helmet in tribute to Kaepernick at the United States Grand Prix, and regretted not doing so after being “silenced”.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Styrian Grand Prix, Hamilton revealed he was warned of consequences for wearing the helmet by a high-ranking official. (Continues at Link below.)

My Personal Opinions:

1) Hammy- SHUT UP AND DRIVE !!! (If you need some help go to one of your Crew and ask for a bottle of Super Glue. If They don’t, then send the Team gofer to go buy some.) APPLY IT TO your FLAPPING LIPS AND PRESS TOGETHER FOR A FEW SECONDS.

2) PUT ON A HELMET WITH PINK GRAPHICS. Have an Arrow pointing DOWN that has the words: I’M WITH STUPID. Above the Down Arrow.

3) REPEAT AS NEEDED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON.

I have a question. I haven’t been a formula 1 fan since the sixties. I just recently started watching again and I notice the drivers don’t shift. Do they have automatic transmissions now?

They shift using paddles on the steering wheel.
