Barrichello's engine in good condition despite pit lane fire
Rubens Barrichello's BGP 001 suffered an oil leak during the last laps of the Belgian GP this past weekend rendering out plumes of smoke , which made everyone doubt whether the Brazilian would make it to the finish line. And while he eventually did finish in seventh place, the rear end of his car caught fire as he entered the pit lane for parce ferme.
Barrichello has commented about this on his Twitter page by saying, "The team told me that my engine is fine after the fire. The gearbox seems okay but only after Saturday practice we will know more."
The engine used at the Spa-Franchorchamps circuit is his sixth out of the permitted eight for the season.
