Those wheels flew straight over that fence :shock:

watched it again, no wonder that camera man dived out of the way, it went straight over him!!

I thought F1 had gone the way of indie car and had ties on the wheels to stop this :?

 

[Easy_Rider]

Yeah they are supposed to be tied. I think Vettel had balls of steel though to carry on after that happened to his team mate.

Weird, just for the wheels to pop off like that!

Not much you can do when the whole set-up fails like that. Think I'll steer clear of carbon fibre for another 10 years at least (like I needed an excuse).

Mr Bendy may have balls of steel... but it was his sister team mate ina Toro Rosso - designed by Red Bull built by Italians... :shock: :shock:

Car had wheel tethers but these anchor to the uprights - which were the parts that failed.
