Re: The 2016 Malaysian GP Thread
Well. Magnussen and Renault are some lucky campers.
Coming in after a sighting lap in Free Practice 1, all hell breaks loose. It seems that the fuel tank pressurized and started pushing fuel out of the breather behind the roll hoop. This then continually ignited, probably from the heat from the headers.

Some magnificent work by the Renault crew had the car out on track during FP2.

Went for Ricciardo as driver of the day. He did very well to keep beyond Verstappen, when the latter was on clearly superior tyres. Reminded me a bit of Bahrain 2014.
