While watching the Ducati GP15 of Andrea Iannone warm up in pit lane, I observed smoke and then actual fire coming from the interior. Just as I moved forward to tell the mechanic he had a problem, his colleague noticed the flames and started waving his hands.

Seeing that the fire would soon be addressed, I sprang into action as a professional photographer and managed to fire off three shots before the Ducati guys put the fire out with compressed air. The scent of the resulting smoke was not pleasant.
