Anyone seen that fire on Schuey's car? Was it big one or just nice little fire? Engine change or not? (engine change [-o< )
EDIT: Sorry I didn't notice at first that there was already French GP topic

Wouldn't you prefer to see Schuey beaten on the track instead of beaten by mechanical gremlins?manchild wrote: Engine change or not? (engine change [-o< )
The fire was most likely caused by a very rich fuel/air mixture. I doubt they run this manner to burn off fuel for qualifying, but instead for cooling. This race is very hot, and if you run a rich mixture, the excess fuel cools the cylinder head. My theory is that on a lap returning to the pits, the engine management computer is programmed to run super-rich to assist in cooling the engine off.Venom wrote:What leads to fire in exaust?
Really? Now this is funny. I don't think it will happen, but McLaren is screwed anyway.And what is this rumour circulating in France (according to ITV) that Alonso is trying to weasel out of his McLaren contract?!
