Formula 1, Sportrik Media - Cadillac F1 Team endured a disappointing end to the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix after both of its cars retired in the opening laps due to overheating brake issues.
Valtteri Bottas was the first to report a problem, informing the team over the radio that his brakes were on fire just a few laps into the race. The Finn returned to the pit lane where the car was immediately attended to with fire extinguishing equipment.
Moments later, team-mate Sergio Perez also reported smoke inside the cockpit. Cadillac called the Mexican into the pits and later confirmed that both retirements were caused by overheated brake systems.
The issue marked another recurrence of a reliability problem that has already affected Cadillac on several occasions during its debut Formula 1 campaign, raising further concerns over the durability of its braking package.
In addition to his retirement, Perez is also under investigation by FIA stewards for allegedly moving before the official start signal. The outcome of the investigation will be announced after the race.
