Romain Grosjean not accepting more brake issuses

Romain Grosjean has expressed his frustration with continued brake issues, after suffering a failure for the third consecutive weekend.

The Haas driver failed to make the start in Singapore after a brake failure, and crashed out last week in Malaysia with an unrelated issue with his brakes. In practice for the Japanese Grand Prix, he was launched into the wall with yet another brake failure.

With the continued problems, the former Renault driver has hit out at the team's supplier and has admitted to safety concerns, especially considering the unforgiving nature of the Suzuka circuit.

"It could be dangerous. Yes, there are things I don't accept. It's not against the team, it's against the suppliers," he said "Today I crashed because the brakes didn't work, so I think it's normal to be a bit annoyed."

"Everywhere is dangerous, but here especially because it's very high speed," he added. "The last race I was lucky to escape with nothing [injured], we come here and my brakes go again, it's a bit too much."
