His tires were like "fuck this shit, let's go get laid."

 

[Aluisious]

I'd love to know exactly what ran through his mind when those tires popped off.

"Hmm!"

 

[Beauregard]

Somebody is up shit creek.

 

[HIglesias]

drivers biggest fear. yo shite exploding! look at senna, nothing good can come from these failures.

 

[Climber]

I can't imagine a worse case scenario for a failure! How the hell can you fully trust the car the next few times you get on the track after something like that?

One of the tires almost took out a photographer, it got his camera after going through the photographer's hole.

[Phaedrus]

Bet it didn't occur to him at the time that steering wasn't going to help much after both front wheels were long gone.

i thought all wheels in F1 had to have teathers?!?!

 

[rumpofsteelskin]

Well, in most cases, Formula one cars reach the finish line in perfect safety. But in this case, the front fell off.

The tethers were secured to the part that failed in his suspension.

 

[Aluisious]

How do you tether a wheel? It spins.
