I hope the pit crew followed regulation after such an incident and played this...

Like mentioned earlier weird crash, but human nature to still keep turning the steering wheel when you have no say what so ever where it goes. /Steeringw /haz

Wow.. Weird ...

I read it was the RF Upright that failed.. All the load was then transferred to the left, which is why that failed simultaneously..

Certainly Brown Pants time though /help

See what can happen if you have too much power in a vr4 brad, So be careful when braking at high speed next time

Given the MPG figures he keeps claiming, it's obvious that his car is only ever driven at a maximum of 56mph./pan

Downhill./pan

With a following wind./pan

On a clear road./pan

With the engine switched off./pan

Being pulled by his goats. /pan

i love the attempt at steering as well, but you must be bricking at that point, but he seems to remain calm which is sign of maturity.

when i saw this for the first time, it looked like both brake disks disintegrated at the same time, or the one first then the second due to all the all the stress being transfered to it.
as we all know red bull /torro rosso suffer with brake problems.

but if they say it is uprights then that is a whole new ball park. will the other cars run at all.

Imagine if he had 215/45/17 tyres with a 91 load rating, the tyres would have exploded first and there wouldn't have been any force transferred to the suspension so the suspension wouldn't have collapsed in the first place.
