Ferrari's official Twitter did not mention, though, that the 41-year-old Spaniard had to step out of the new F138 car amid clouds of white smoke. And photographs of the car, taken after it smoked to a halt between turns 7 and 8, showed extensive burn damage at the rear. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reported that the cause of the problem was a transmission fault, which is currently being repaired. "It will take a while to hit the track again," confirmed Ferrari.
