The mechanics had to take cover when the liquid oozed from the toilet block over it.

Staff were exposed to jokes and giggles from rival teams, but there was no hint of foul play amid the toilet humor.
Aston drivers Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll had an equally shitty qualifying when they finished 17th and 18th respectively.
Canadian Stroll did well in the last race on Sunday to fight their way to 11th place, while the German Vettel only improved one place to 16th place.
The focus of the day, however, was the furious battle for the championship between British legend Lewis Hamilton and Red Bulls Max Verstappen.
Mercedes ace Hamilton won the thriller on Sunday, tied on points with Verstappen and prepared a title decision in the last race in Abu Dhabi.
Hamilton narrowly avoided disaster after his Red Bull opponent suddenly braked as he allowed him to regain his position.

The two collided before the Mercedes driver managed to overtake a few laps later.
The Dutchman was ordered to let Hamilton pass after cutting him open to avoid being overtaken – which in turn almost resulted in an accident.
And the Briton aimed for the checkered flag at his bitter rival.
Hamilton said: “I don’t think I’ve changed the way I drive. I think we’re seeing several incidents this year.
“Even with Brazil we are supposed to have our races on the track between the white lines and the rules were not clear from the commissioners that these things are allowed, so it will continue.
“From what I understand, I know that I can’t overtake anyone and get off the track and then hold onto my position.
“But I think all of us drivers know that, but one of us probably doesn’t.”
“I HAD TO TRY TO KEEP COOL”
Hamilton also suggested that Verstappen be among the Formula 1 stars pushing the limit.
He added, “For me, I had to really try to stay cool out there, which was really difficult.
“In 28 years I have driven through my life with many drivers and have met many different characters.
“There are a few at the top who are over the limit, rules don’t apply or don’t think about the rules.
“I just try to talk on the track and keep the car between the white lines and get it right.
“There were so many crazy curbs and then he obviously tested the brakes I think to try to get the DRS into the last corner to overtake me again on the first corner.

“If Max falls into that category … He’s definitely over the limit.
“I’ve avoided collisions with the guy on so many occasions and I don’t know if he’s the one who’s doing it.
“But you’re struggling to live another day like I did.”
