SOCHI, Russia -- A small fire was detected and put out in Haas' garage overnight, the team has confirmed, damaging two sets of tyres in the process.
Night guards at the Sochi Autodrom discovered and extinguished the fire, which is believed to have started in the control box for a set of tyre blankets, which regulate the temperature of tyres.
The fire destroyed the set in those blankets and damaged another set of tyres nearby.
Teams only have 13 sets per driver for each weekend and according to Haas the two damaged sets, which were allocated to Kevin Magnussen's car, will be replaced
Team boss Guenther Steiner said the team is still trying to figure out the cause of the fire.
