Bottas links Baku crash to possible systems confusion

Bottas told RacingNews365 and other reporters after the race that he had gone straight on at Turn 1 earlier in the final lap. He thought the extra distance might have confused his Cadillac’s systems. Approaching Turn 15, he said, the car experienced what he called a large ‘superclip’. When he braked, he felt that only the front brakes activated, as though the rear brakes were no longer recovering energy for the battery. [1]

Bottas offered that sequence as his explanation for the crash. RacingNews365’s account does not give a technical diagnosis from Cadillac. [1]
