Ferrari brake issues spark debate after Leclerc crash in Monaco

Charles Leclerc blamed faulty brake feel for his crash at the Monaco Grand Prix, saying on the radio, “It’s these damn brakes.” The incident followed earlier concerns he voiced about the brakes during the Canadian Grand Prix. Reports indicate that Lewis Hamilton has been using a different brake‑disc solution supplied by Carbon Industries since the Japanese Grand Prix, while his Ferrari still relies on the traditional Brembo components. Ferrari officials reportedly know of a possible brake configuration change but chose not to introduce it at Monaco. After the crash, Leclerc said he intends to try the same solution Hamilton has been using in upcoming races. The discussion highlights divergent brake setups within the same team and raises questions about performance and driver confidence on a circuit where braking precision is critical.
