Brake master cylinder malfunction caused the brakes to warm and stick up to thousands of degrees.
Replays showed the brake disc glowing as though Davison had his foot hard on the brakes, an action not usually related to the Indy 500, prior to the disc shattered, breaking the wheel hub and triggering the entire assembly to ignite.
” Ive got to thank my group for all their effort throughout the occasion, our automobile felt excellent and we had actually managed Alonso and I was quite thrilled for the race ahead.
