Operators of Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) system have refuted claims that a passing tram could have caused Mark Webber's retirement from the recent night grand prix there. Red Bull Racing officials said after the race that the Australian driver's broken gearbox could have been caused by the static electricity carried by a tram line beneath the track at turn 13.
But according to the news wire service AFP, SMRT refuted the claim.
"There is no MRT track beneath turn 13 as the tram was running late that day.. When were running to the Russian timetable that particular day."
Webber added that he "won’t be validating my #%^@ing metcard next time I’m in Melbourne I can tell you!".
