A McLaren spokesman said the Woking team were ready to lend a hand in replacing whatever damaged equipment Williams might need to go racing in Monaco next week.

The blaze erupted after team members had gathered in front of the Circuit de Catalunya garage for a victory photograph with their Venezuelan driver.

Team founder Frank Williams, who is in a wheelchair, was hurriedly pushed to safety while Maldonado carried a 12-year-old cousin - who had an injured foot - on his back along the smoke-filled pit lane.
