Max Verstappen's run of nine straight F1 victories end at the Australian Grand Prix, where a brake fire ended his race early Sunday.
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Max Verstappen's run of nine straight victories came to a dramatic end at the Australian Grand Prix, where a brake fire ended his race early Sunday.
Verstappen slowed and returned to the pits, where the brake duct dramatically exploded as he did so. Having stopped in the Red Bull pit box, Verstappen immediately climbed out of his car, signaling the end of his race. The race retirement left Sainz in line for a remarkable victory, having missed the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix two weeks ago with appendicitus. Sainz's status for this weekend's race was only confirmed on Friday, after he had completed practice laps for Ferrari.
