Looks like exhaust bodywork catching a light.

Thats Mercs secret out the bag - Rocket powered!!

Faulty electronics could have caused overheating, or it's just a cover. But with EBD still in vogue I think we will see more of these failures from others pushing the limits.

McLaren still trying to find the cause of the failure?

Hopefully the electronics glitch for Merc was just that, a glitch. If it's affecting the bodywork, there's some work to be done.

Faulty electronics could have caused overheating......

Yeah, thats whats being quoted from a number of sources in the Sky feed. But none of us ever know whats the truth. Its all smoke and mirrors.

I've just spoken to McLaren and they say they don't yet know precisely why Button's car stopped (which seems to rule out a fuel depletion test). They're hoping to let us know ASAP but I was told the MP4-28 would be in the garage for "some time".

Hmph. Not an ideal start.

Hmph. Not an ideal start.

Its the first morning, of the first day - best to find the glitches now - than, say on the last day of the last test...?

[LRW]

McLaren confirm that Jenson Button's car has suffered a fuel pump failure and will be out of action for "some time" #skyf1

You speak wisely, Sir.

Apologies. I'd taken leave of my senses.

How's the grip on the Mclaren?

[What's Burning?]

Fuel pump was the cause for Button's stoppage.

[andrew]

But he must have had some track time to report on the grip before the fuel pump went pop?

[racechick]

Nope. Not really. He did four out laps and that was it.

[What's Burning?]

Yeahp, I'm calling it now, Vettel wins his 4th straight title.
