"Red liquid pouring out of Vettel's car" ... Ferrari engine power puzzle finally solved - it's BLOOD!

I think vettels gearbox has a crack because there was some dust from around the wastegate where the upper Suspension arm is mounted

I hope they are running an old gear box for Vettel, Hamilton lost the 2012 GP by a hit like that in Q...
I think he had already lost a FP1/2 gearbox.

If they have them, they use old ones, same with PU's. Everything to get the least milage out of their race components.

Didn’t he lose one about 2 races ago? Does he have another?

Cracks starting to show on his confidence now. Pressure since it's announced a young big talent and a Ferrari protegé is driving alongside him next season? Seb realizing he won't get any help anymore? :roll:

I assume they fitted a brand new one after Germany, so they had two spares at least.

Yes, he definitely touched the wall in FP2 because he had in mind that Leclerc is gonna be his teammate next season. #-o

Kimi will be on pole here too :) Wouldn't that be epic. After Ferrari releases him, back to back poles. Go Kimi!

In tennis terminology, this would be a unforced error on Vettel's part. 0-15 for the weekend so far.
