SOCHI, Russia -- Haas has reverted back to Brembo brakes for the remainder of the Russian Grand Prix after running Carbon Industrie during Friday practice.
In a bid to solve its long-running brake issues Haas tested Carbon Industrie in Bahrain's post-race tests before using them on both cars for FP1 and FP2 in Sochi. Romain Grosjean was heard complaining about the new brakes over the radio, with the team struggling with the cooling of the new discs.
Overnight it was decided the team will use Brembo for the rest of the weekend. Team boss Guenther Steiner said it was no surprise that the team struggled with its new supply.
