This surprised me, I would have thought HRT or Virgin were last in the reliability stakes.

Reliability through Monaco.

Yes but thats a bit of a s**t list

Red Bulls have been limping home most this season

Make a better one then.

Fernando's engine failure in Malaysia

It's interesting that failing to make the grid doesn't count against a team, it's still a failure if you can't even start the car. Otherwise it's an interesting list when Ferrari have perceived reliability issues.

What about Jenson Button engine fire? Can we classify under Reliability or team stupidity?


I think this qualifes as stupidity cooling cover being left on his left-hand sidepod during the formation lap.

You'd hope someone was told "Ya fired!" after that.

It never ceases to amaze me the resources and technical know how that go into an F1 car/team, and something as simple as taking a cover off gets missed.

i think it's both. it was certainly stupid, but every mechanical failure is owing to a mistake by someone at some point.

They're lucky they didn't get banned for a movable aerodynamic device...

Is it too late, did the red team miss that protest opportunity ? call 1-800-luca-demontezemolo and leave a message.
