Valtteri Bottas pede que a Cadillac resolva problemas de confiabilidade

Valtteri Bottas cobrou da Cadillac uma solução para os persistentes problemas de confiabilidade após ele e Sergio Perez abandonarem o Grande Prêmio da Áustria devido a incêndios nos freios.

Bottas sofreu seu terceiro abandono consecutivo no Red Bull Ring, em Spielberg. Ele e seu companheiro de equipe, Perez, deixaram a corrida com poucas voltas de diferença quando seus freios pegaram fogo.

O piloto finlandês afirmou que não houve qualquer aviso durante as sessões de treino. Ele atribuiu as falhas a uma combinação de temperaturas ambientes mais altas e refrigeração reduzida ao correr no tráfego.

Bottas ressaltou que a equipe precisa terminar as corridas para coletar dados sobre seu carro atualizado, o MAC-26. Ele identificou a conclusão do Grande Prêmio da Grã-Bretanha, em Silverstone, como a prioridade imediata.

A Cadillac introduziu novas peças de refrigeração de freios para o evento na Áustria, mas Bottas observou que elas se mostraram insuficientes.
