Maybe i'm wrong but i think that was the turbo
basti313 have seen at least part of the crankcase flying through the sidepanel.

It was concentrated at the back until Sainz went to get out of the car and the car rolled backwards.
watch it again, before the car came to a stop there was like a bit of a small explosion
turbos can explode. imagine something at 15000 rpm suddenly stopping because a piece of an exhaust valve goes inside itpierrre wrote: ↑12 Jul 2022, 14:46watch it again, before the car came to a stop there was like a bit of a small explosion

also the most damaged part is at the rear of the engine, where the turbo (splited or not) is

Petrol does that. Burns rather well.
I'll repeat that it's very unlikely it's petrol, there's way too much energy in burning petrol, if there was a leak it would have been a lot faster than that, and more violent.
