Renault engineers later blamed the fuel breather system as the source of the fire and revealed that the car had suffered surprisingly little damage.

'We had a fuel leak from a breather,' said Renault technical director, Nick Chester. 'It looks like the tank pressurized, but we will investigate. We were running the tank full and we were running some experimental parts really in preparation for Mexico.

'Everyone's okay, that's the main thing. Fortunately the car doesn't seem to be too badly damaged.'

Magnussen returned to the track for the second practice session later in the day, although he could only record the nineteenth fastest time of the 22 drivers on track.

Unsurprisingly the pace was set by the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
