Williams has issued a statement following a KERS related issue involving Pastor Maldonado's car ahead of this morning's free practice session.

It reads:

"At 08.30 this morning the Williams F1 Team suffered a KERS failure on Pastor Maldonado’s car. The car was in the garage at the time. The resulting smoke was contained quickly and efficiently by the team and circuit fire marshals. No personnel were injured.

"The team are currently investigating the cause of the failure, and assessing any further damage to Pastor’s car.

"More information will be released once the team are in a position to do so."

Following last year's Spanish Grand Prix, which was won by Maldonado, team celebrations were cut short when a fire involving Bruno Senna's car caused much damage and left one mechanic seriously burned.
