Looks like a long trail of fluid which the camera car is already driving over at the beginning of the video. Condolences to the owner.

[tyrrell]

Yes very sad condolences to the owner

[Yipper]

Sounds like the filmer is gloating and laughing.

Then you have the prick van driver laughing about it. If it's manufacturer error, I wonder what McLaren will do in response?

I was broke down in the Lambo recently and you wouldn't believe how people were laughing at it taking pictures and gloating.
If I had been in a shed car they wouldn't have cared less.

Sad to see a car like that or any car on fire really.

Had the same about 8 years ago when the 355 blew a tyre and I was sat by the side of a UK highway for 2 hours
Funnily enough the tow truck driver told me that another Ferrari was sitting by the side of the road 2 corners further back and was not happy when the tow truck left again to pick me up

You get the last laugh, you own a Lambo, they don't.

Hydraulic fluid I reckon.

Had that volcano orange 650s drop a load of fluid and cause that massive pile up at Nurburgring last week as well.
Something’s amiss perhaps?

Certainly something amiss, but I don't follow your logic that these two instances are related. Different cars, different fluids, 7 months apart, 2 of 5,000 McLarens on the roads

While probably totally unrelated, both cars share the same basic engine/gearbox/suspension hydraulics components with the same O rings & other fuid couplings, so could be the same faults.

A minor point (not adding much!) - there are around 15,000 McLarens on the road now

Yes, that's what I was getting at. Probably sorted by a dealer recall in a quiet sort of way.

Wow! I'd have guessed about 3-5,000. Gee, they're as common as muck now!

Still like them though.

Sad sight, sadder that the camera is laughing, tt !
