Overheating caused Renault's Valencia failures on Sebastian Vettel and Romain Grosjean's cars

Sebastian Vettel and Romain Grosjean's retirements from the European Grand Prix were both caused by an overheating alternator, engine supplier Renault has confirmed, but the French car manufacturer is still uncertain about why the parts got too hot in the first place.

Renault has conducted a detailed examination of the Red Bull Racing and Lotus engines that failed in Valencia, and its conclusion points to the overheating parts cutting the electrical supply to the power units and forcing both drivers out.

But despite knowing what caused the engines to shut down, Renault is conducting further tests this week to work out why the overheating issue reared its head in the first place.

Renault Sport F1 deputy managing director Rob White said: "We've checked over the parts thoroughly now and it seems that there were no obvious reasons for the failure, so we are conducting further tests on the dyno at Viry to replicate conditions and double checking the findings."

Renault should make a concrete solution on this alternator overheating issue. Ferrari should worry as well as the RBR virtually fly away before the safety car incident.

Italian TV reports Vettel to Ferrari deal done for 2014

Jun.26 (GMM) Reports that reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel is headed to Ferrari are again making headlines in Italy.

Italian television Mediaset’s Italia1 channel, and the authoritative journalist Giorgio Terruzzi, claim that the Red Bull driver will be Fernando Alonso’s teammate in 2014.

The report echoed the claims of British newspapers, who said recently that an agreement is already in place for 24-year-old German Vettel to drive for Ferrari.

The Italian report said Vettel’s deal is for three years, until the end of 2016.

Terruzzi said that Alonso’s teammate in 2013 will either be an improved Felipe Massa or Australia’s Mark Webber, who would fill the cockpit for a single season before Vettel is contractually able to move from Red Bull.

The respected journalist said Massa or Webber would cost Ferrari only EUR 5 million in 2013, before Vettel earns 15 million, starting in 2014.
