'Smoke and odor from the box of Red Bull after a beginning of fire, yet the causes are unknown. #F1'

Newey in packaging-rear-too-tight shocker?

**** it sounds like Seb is done for the day!

13:32 Sebastain Vettel sits in civil lunch together with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. Whether the champion again today hitting the slopes? Anyway, he has already packed his bag.

Tobias Grüner F1 ‏@tgruener4m
Is Vettels day over? The champion sitting in street clothes in the RB motorhome. He will not drive anytime soon.

I wonder if this was the reason for some of the big guys in Red Bull leaving because of this Renault engine being ****?

Total laps done by engines so far:

Mercedes 76

Ferrari 48



















Renault 8

 

[51LV3R8RR04]

Or the reason for Vettel leaving is because Michael is being woken up?

Autosport confirming all Renault teams are having various issues.

RBR - general issues
Caterham - electrical issues
Torro Rosso - mapping issues


Just 8 laps of running between all of them so far today

Sorry BLS seeing triple dots again. Not an expert but isn't white steam more on the lines of heat rather than petrol?

+Edit: Seems more like an ERS problem, considering the light above the drivers head is red.

 

[allsaintchris.]

Or the reason for Vettel leaving is because Michael is being woken up?

That has been dismissed by his manager as speculation

Possibly but l'equipe reported of a second operation which the managers denied but were yet proven correct a few days after by the Dr's who operated on him that he did in fact have a second operation.

It's smart for Schumachers group to deny everything because the guy has been in a coma for a month, they don't need an army of idiots turning up and making it look like a new pope is being selected or something.

ERS overheat issue? Consequences woudl be much bigger than last year with the increased capacaties, so maybe it's melted stuff around it?

 

[DHCanary]

If Red Bull can't get the Renault engine up and running properly in a day and a half, how far off the pace are Lotus going to be by the time they start testing?

Thought the turbo was at the back of the engine? That seems quite a way forward.

Either way, look slike Renault really do have issues with the way all their teams are struggling to do any miles at all.

 

[allsaintchris.]

Surely Renault will pass all the info from the test to each team so they know what problems the others have had so they can make sure they apply the rigth fixes.

With the lack of running so far from Renault engined cars, I don't think Lotus are missing too much.
