Well, official word via the BBC pit reporter (the new female one, sorry, I forgot her name) is that the reason for lack of running for Vitaly this morning was due to radio failure. I'm sceptical though, we saw an onboard 10-15 minutes prior to that of him coming out of the hairpin and then getting to about forth gear and just 'coasting' down the straight. Possibilities:
In/Out Lap - Seems unlikely based on the aggression of the gear changes etc
Gearbox/Electronic Problems - Possible as seemed stuck in gear at max revs
Throttle Stuck Open - Also seems a possibility based on the revs, why else coast down the straight overheating the engine like that
That's all I can think of right now but from what was reported I'd say we're likely to see him get some times on the board before the session's over.
