Sep.19 (GMM) Team engineers are nervous each time their cars approach Singapore's Anderson Bridge, according to a report in the German newspaper Bild.
It is said that a strange magnetic or electrical interference, probably related to subway lines that run nearby and underground, is threatening to grind the sophisticated, hybrid F1 cars of 2015 to a halt."The sensors are showing some odd numbers," confirmed McLaren technical boss Tim Goss. "If the cars get this electrical pulse during a gear change, it can disturb the workings between the throttle, clutch and gearbox."Bild said Mercedes, the world champion team, has built in some shielding against the interference.But "We are still a little worried," technical chief Paddy Lowe admitted.
