One of the Caterham's also had a hole in the sidepod/engine cover, but on the opposite side. I heard rumours it could be a turbo failure, causing it to explode, damaging the engine cover, but I thought teams had to run with a 'shield' around the turbo to protect against this type of thing?roadie wrote:http://i.imgur.com/4PW3jwh.jpg
The left sidepod of BOT had an issue today. What do you think may have caused it?
Damage is too far forward to be a turbo, but could it be the mgu-h?JDC123 wrote:One of the Caterham's also had a hole in the sidepod/engine cover, but on the opposite side.

Scarbs could you say who you asked for this info? and Can you do sketch?
Thanks
Scarbs has a large audience who don't have English as their first language. It would be a bit irresponsible of him to be sarcastic on twitter don't you think?flyboy2160 wrote:Uh.....are you sure he wasn't just being sarcastic about the hunk of the left upper sidepod that got blown off?n smikle wrote:I knew it!

Thanks.. Even I was a bit unsure after many examinations of different photo's but I had a strong feeling based on past F1 and current Lemans cars.scarbs wrote:Pat Symonds confimed it was air to air, plus the huge intercooler in the left sidepod
