Thank you for the in depth clarification!nico5 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2022, 14:06Yeah no, I like him too but he probably just assumed it was Sainz's since it was covered and parked not far away from T4 where Sainz's was.organic wrote: ↑15 Jun 2022, 12:15Sam Collins said it was Sainz's car in this video:nico5 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2022, 10:15
That's Leclerc's car and it's engine oil, not hydraulic fluid. From the onboard, you could already see it spilling oil on the ground in the pitlane near the FIA weighbridge, then for some reason team staff pushed the car back and outside the pitlane grounds instead of forward into the garage. So yeah, that's where it was left til after the race.

Obviously he's not the most reliable in the world, but he was in the pitlane and probably kept tabs on what was going on.
This is the car in the pitlane with oil marks:

And this is afterwards near the BMW with the parc ferme area in sight. You can see the mechanic carrying the red cover for the car:

That is to say that Sainz's was either an hydraulic issue or something with the gearbox, which was my thought from the noise it made as he stopped. Nothing to do with engine tho.
