For the first time ever this season Lewis Hamilton was forced to RETIRE from a race after his brakes FAILED at the Madring! So after that DNF is he OUT of the world championship fight? Could Ferrari have avoided this if they picked a NUMBER ONE driver sooner? And is Kimi Antonelli rubbing his hands together? And later - did the FIA President really say changes need to be made so Fernando Alonso can win before he retires?
