Red flag in Bahrain
Suddenly dark! Embarrassing breakdown during F1 test
Nothing works anymore! A power failure caused a forced break in Formula 1 testing in Bahrain on Wednesday.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "At around 5pm today, a power failure caused by an external substation led to an interruption," the organizer announced matter-of-factly.
In fact, halfway through the afternoon session, the power suddenly went out on the entire track, in all the garages and in the entire paddock! The marshals waved the red flag and all the F1 stars were ordered to the pit lane - where they were amazed at the sudden blackout.
"Thought I had to change my visor"
"I then drove back to the pits and it was suddenly quite dark. I thought I would have to change my visor. Then I realized that the power had gone out everywhere," said George Russell, describing the situation.
One hour interruption
The breakdown could have had serious consequences. Because when the power went out, it was just beginning to get dark - but the tests were scheduled to continue for another two hours - even in complete darkness.
Nevertheless, after an interruption of just over an hour, the lights came back on for F1 in Bahrain.
