Video footage of the opening lap of Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix has left Ferrari in no doubt that the tear off that wrecked Charles Leclerc’s race was Max Verstappen’s.

Do you have the link?

That would explain the smoke coming from the wheel area, which he noted on the radio.

I heard a report that the heat from this might have also damaged a speed sensor (hence the speeding in the pit lane), but suspect that is only an excuse? Have you heard anything?[/QUOTE]

With Leclerc running right behind Verstappen at the time, footage showed that it was the Red Bull driver's tear off that was thrown directly in to the path of the Ferrari driver and got stuck in his brake duct.
