anti stall was visible on his screen. for sure this is an engine failure. carlos had same issue. i could not believe it. what a shame. pace was awesome.

Still though the car literally stopped. Even with vibrations on the front left you can't just like 18 seconds in a lap.

Yeah, it needs to be catastrophic. In Bahrain one of Renaults shut down similar to this. Given that Norris said "I'm out" I'd say the engine either shut down or ran out of fuel. Perhaps Renault has issue running on low fuel.

He 100% didn't run out of fuel.

Let's be honest. Renault is still crap. It's always something with them. The only positive thing is that the power is ok. That's why I drive German cars instead of French ones.

Carlos' issue was hydraulic, not engine.

31 Points difference from Torro Rosso, 39 from Renault and 42 from Racing Point. Still luck is turning our back on us this year so far. We could have been more than 50 or 60 if it weren't for those unlucky DNFs which are a lot this year either by other drivers crashing on us or hydravlic issues or as today the engine. We are definately more unlucky than the rest.

Until there isn't any...

Luck always averages out.

Anti-Stall kicked in, same as with Carlos.

Carlo's today ?


Thought that was Hydrolic?

Nightmare weekend for Mclaren, poor Lando he was 5th all race.... DAM IT!

[Darth-Piekus]

So what now? Could we go back to Mercedes? Won't that cost us in making a different car since their engine is completely different? What about the status with the Mercedes. Will we be customer or try to get some equal work status?

Still though I am not afraid. Mclaren is leagues faster than the other midfielders. We are destroying them. The luck the others have is gonna run out at some point.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about Toro Rosso and Renault, but it's just sad. Norris completely destroyed the midfield with a big gap. I'm sure that new spec will bring new problems, because with Renault it never ends.

I heard the commentators say it was anti-stall. The car stalled on grid at first and then wouldn't start during pit-stop. Let's wait a bit for more credible sources.

Let’s be honest, Mercedes have had three engines go ping this weekend so it’s not exclusively a Renault problem.

Given the message on Lando’s screen (ANTI STALL - RECOVERING CLUTCH) I’d guess on either failed engine electrics or the dreaded hydraulic gremlins again ...

It was hydraulic according to a post in this thread but Carlos just said on TV that they still don't know what caused the issue.
