Info
Stopped for two minutes, fuel pump problems
There's something weird in the timing belt, it didn't run properly during the last 20 km of the stage. Now the service is removing the timing belt gears and checking, maybe we're late from the next stage start. I think we can continue, but the situation was developing in an interesting direction so I wouldn't have wanted to have a setback like this but I've had bigger setbacks in my life!
I think we're retiring, we've lost the engine. There was already misfire on the second stage of the day and in the beginning it was running only three cylinders and made banging noise. At one point the temperature peaked and now we have one plug off, I think we're out of the game. This is motorsport, there's nothing you can do about it.
