TL;DR Summary

Kevin Magnussen's heavy crash during the F1 Mexico GP was triggered by overheating brakes, causing a suspected left rear track rod failure. The high temperatures in Mexico led to the brake temperatures getting too high as Magnussen defended against Logan Sargeant. The crash resulted in damage to the barriers and a red flag. The team confirmed that it was a heat issue from the brakes that caused the suspension failure. Despite the extensive damage, the team has enough parts for the rest of the season. Magnussen picked up a minor hand injury but was otherwise unharmed.
