Not sure if this has been mentioned in another thread, but I'll post anyway.

The Williams F1 team was celebrating their first victory in eight years at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona with a team photo when something, possibly a KERS unit, sparked an explosion. Video shows the garage burst into flames and sources are reporting multiple injuries. A team member was apparently pulled out of the blaze with his legs on fire.

This fire happened only a short time after Pastor Maldonado celebrated a win in his Williams car, the first victory for the once successful team after a long drought. Early reports are that the KERS system which stores electricity for use in the race sparked a fuel fire.

The flames spread quickly, engulfing the unit. Images show people on the ground being treated for unknown injuries.

That sucks a lot - Williams really deserved that win too. Bruno Senna's car is in a pretty bad state now.
