Ricciardo suffered what appeared to be a significant engine failure in🍨 final practice as the Australian ground to a halt with smoke billowing from the rear of his RB14 Formula 1 car. The issue occurred in the closing stages of FP3, which finished just two hours before the start 🌃of qualifying in Shanghai.
“I think we’ve got a suspected turbo failure, that’s what the analysis is at t💛he moment,” Horner told Sky Sports. “Whether that’s damaged the combustion engine as well o𝄹nly time will tell. It certainly looks turbo orientated at the moment.
“The boys have got to work a miracle to get that turned around for qualifying now. [We need to] get the bits of shrapnel back, get the data, have a look aဣt it and the bottom line now is it’s a 🌜big task to try and get it turned around for qualifying.”
When asked if Red Bull is getting frustrated by Renault’s issues, Horner replied: “Yeah, I mean it’s the second race in a row. We had the energy store last race, we’ve got this issue before we’ve even got into qualifying here an📖d we’re on race three s👍o disappointed is probably an understatement.”
Ricciardo, who was forced to move onto the second element of his cont♒rol electronics and energy store components on his Renault-powered Red Bull following his retirement in last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix, addꦆed his latest problem was “pretty tough” as he edged closer to a grid penalty.
F1’s tighter restrictions foꦯr power units for 2018 mean drivers are limited to one fewer engine for the 21-race season compared to last year.
