Ha ha...

In all seriousness... I suspect it'll be his rear wing - as Sutil plants himself fully up his backside at turn 1.

Lets see we have had spark plug and brake disks so far this year. I'm going to go with a total ECU failure. I'm thinking that's how his luck is going this year.
 
Bah, as we know, Red Bull gives you front wings, so they aren't a problem. Coulthard utilised this particular benefit of Red Bull many times.

I'll go with electronics failure.

red bull are saying it wasn't the brake disc, and they're not sure, to which i immediately call ********, because as soon as i saw the footage i could definitely see a huge amount of sparks flying out of the left front, like you might expect if a rotating mass of carbon suddenly ripped apart and flew everywhere.

anyways, i'm going with nothing, the race will be red flagged for rain before anything can break.

They actually said it was something related to the torque drive on the wheel and Brembo came out and said it wasn't the brakes.
Why does a failure inside the wheel have to mean brakes?
 
My guess is gearbox failure for this weekend.

If it wasn't going to be chucking it down with rain I would have said that he'll have rear suspension failure, caused by his exhaust gases heating up the carbon fibre components of his rear suspension causing the whole back end to collapse. I reckon we won't see this happen until we get to Turkey where it will be nice & hot.
 
I had the job of constructing his fuel tank at the end of last year, and judging by the way some furniture I built not so long ago collapsed in epic fashion, it doesn't fill me with great confidence that the same won't happen to his fuel cell at some point.:lol:

not sure what a torque drive is, but vettel said the brakes felt wrong, then speared off the track with a wheel spitting out sparks.
of course brembo would say it wasn't their fault...
/conspiracy theory
 
I felt like crying watching the first race, felt like crying again watching the 2nd one. If something happens during this one, I'm just gonna stop caring XD.

Engine. I have a feeling that it'll overheat tomorrow.
