Through spokesperson the Mercedes has confirmed in these hours that everything is under control.
According to what was reported by Autosport last Monday at 21pm a call went out from the Brixworth factory to the Northamptonshire fire station to report a small fire caused by an oil leak from one of the turbo engines being tested.
The German company later downplayed the event and reassured about the prompt resumption of activities, specifying that the phone call was part of the mandatory procedure in the event of any type of accident.
