Just seen this on F1 on Sky. No idea what’s happened yet.
Every mechanic in the pitlane is taking part in trying to put this fire out.
Everyone is being moved out of the paddock.
Lots of concern about cars and trucks out the back of the garage.The fire has now spread to Caterham, Sauber, Toro Rosso and Force India. Everyone’s fleeing apart from the guys fighting the fire. Very brave.
