I believe engines tend not to enjoy turning over without oil pressure. I assume it was a old one anyway
It was new in Austria. I think Lewis is entirely to blame for stessing the engine exiting the pit lane.
Confusing! I think his stop was down to an engine failure, which was due to a oil pressure loss, which most probably ruined the engine. Not sure how much more life it has left in it but it died before it should have anyways.
Management will do anything they can to stop the star boy from getting a penalty His lap in FP2 was a flyer, really went for it there btw. Shame for Williams. Alonso and Ricciardo the main challengers, and Torro Rosso looking smart. -- I was joking at the start, before you tear my balls off.
