They are 400mm (15.8”) with 6 piston calipers and reportedly outstanding. I think he may have overcooked it on a green track. Even the very best (which he is) sometimes make mistakes. You have to allow him just the one.

Bonus points to him being a really, really nice guy. Very funny and friendly with tons of great stories.

I met him in Melbourne this year. Weird photo. Looks like I’m saying “please don’t crash the Aston again”. Stroll’s henchman. 😂

My opinion of the West Londoner is changing by the minute, this could soon be leading up to the goth fashionata I know he's after the driver of the day votes when Norris falls out of the teeny bopper likes having a cheat advantage with the car.

On a more serious note, when you are driving at high speeds anything can happen, most likely the rear got light and went away from him. The definition of driving at the limit means you are about to crash the whole time. Sometimes you do crash. This is also known as he found the limit.
'Expert' driver wouldn't have crashed, he wasn't racing and err was the car properly serviced with brake fluid change on time?? Appears he had the ESP switched off and just threw caution to the winds.

Onwards then and the question is are we all of a sudden going to see the Larens' pace slow as seen on the Mercs of late.

No one's following him. No staff, no fans, no camera's....he probably had to call a cab to get there from his hotel

Those old F1 cars at the end of the clip...sound so angry, awesome engines.

Kimi Antonelli has crashed the Mercedes of Russell during FP1. His debut in F1 lasted about 13 minutes. He was very fast though.

It's being said RB has an advantage here now that the curbs have been lowered. No excuses for Max.

The upshot is he did look real quick out the box. Just overexuberant, didn't build up to the limits... Mistakes like that come with a lack of experience, I think.

And maybe pressure. Italian press and fans have incredible high expectations.
No country puts so much passion in cars and motorsports.

Looks like Russell is not going anywhere soon as mechanics struggle to give him a car after Antonelli clobbered it good.
