McLaren F1 boss Boullier safe after plane scare
Eric Boullier had a scare on Sunday as he returned from a visit to the fabled Le Mans race. The McLaren boss was sharing a journey on a private plane with friend Zak Brown, a well-known F1 sponsorship figure, when the aircraft developed a fault. Brown, describing the incident as a 'close call', said on Twitter that the plane 'lost all electronics mid-flight. Fire brigade met us in the runway'. Revealing more, a report on the official Le Mans website said the plane's 'entire (electronics) system shut down and the pilot issued a rather worrying mayday signal'. 'Thanks to the skills of the pilot, (the plane) landed safely in the end,' the report added.
