There was a lot of smoke in the area, but apparently everyone who stayed in the area was fine. According to Mundo Deportivo, McLaren engineer Andrea Stella says that everyone was spared the horror because the entire team left the scene as soon as they observed smoke. Star driver Lando Norris was among the evacuees, writes DPA. – This morning we evacuated the team’s guest unit in the paddock after a fire alarm. The team was safely evacuated, and the local fire service is dealing with the problem, writes McLaren on X. Fire crews were quickly on the scene, and a safety zone was created to keep both journalists and spectators at a safe distance. The incident happened just under half an hour before the Formula 1 drivers’ last practice session at the Barcelona circuit. There will be qualifying later on Saturday and the WC race on Sunday.
