15:09 GARY ANDERSON has a theory on the Sauber crash:

"Looking at the CCTV of the accident scene, I'd guess that the Sauber suffered a rear suspension failure. There's one set of solid black lines, which is Sutil being on the brakes, and there is the other set of broken tyre marks which will be the back of the car spinning.

"It's an odd place to go off as you are still under power, and if something happens at the rear it steers the car one way or the other. But there is no confirmation from the team on this and as I didn't see what happened, that's based only on what we could see after the crash.

"The interesting thing here will be to see how the anteater nose stood up to the impact. It appeared to be off the car after the impact, so that needs to be investigated because this is the first test of the new nose structures."
 
Red Bull are really taking sandbagging to a whole new level!!! :p



I fully expect Newey to get a handle on this, but it has been a while since he built an absolute turkey.
 
Remember that Renault gave Newey temp and cooling data on all the engine and it's control systems. If Renault now want to revise their engine cooling requirements it is not Neweys fault. If it is Newey being to aggressive then he will sort it quickly short term and longer term he will sort it and have good aero.
I would love to know all the ins and outs of the problems.

It's down to how Newey has installed the electronics etc. The car hasn't run long enough the actual engine itself to overheat. It's all the ancilliaries and energy devices that are the problem.
 
30 mins left and Chiltons not last!
