Red Bull factory evacuated
The Red Bull Racing F1 factory based in Milton Keynes has been evacuated after a new racing component went up in smoke. This afternoon, around lunch time, the smoke alarm went off and all Red Bull Racing staff were evacuated from the facility, including Mark Webber who was visiting the factory.
A spokesman of Red Bull Racing declared: "While carrying out some testing on development items for the future an electrical development component failed and gave off a lot of smoke. This set off the smoke detectors and fire alarms.
"In accordance with drills practised regularly at the factory, Building 1 was evacuated. The incident has absolutely no effect on preparation for this weekend's German GP."
