Jesus Christ! Surely they can't let that team race until they know why both wheels came off on braking, that's lethal

Superb - i've set my alarm for early doors in the morning to catch practice 3 and qualifying

Cheers

That's a 'what happens next' for Question of sport in a few years!

 

[PeterBassett]

Excellent stuff!

They do need to sort out why it happened, but maybe it'll keep Vettel scared for a while at least. Heh.

I love the fact that, despite not having any front wheels, he still tries to steer away from the wall! :lol:

 

[petermillard]

Wow! I wonder if that'll affect the Red Bull's as well?

 

[Paulg]

It was caused by a new design of suspension part (the upright). They have reverted to the old deign for the race.

Nothing to do with Red Bull, it was the Torro Rosso team design

 

[Ironballs]

I bet he reverted to a new pair of underpants as well

Arn't they basically the same team?

Red Bull run Renult engines, Torro Rosso are Ferrari engined and most likely different chassis

yerbutt "torro rosso" is spanish for "red bull"

The teams are owned by the same people but the rules don't allow more than two cars from each team so they started another one... The cars are very different though, Red Bulls are the better ones, their wheels usually stay on the car.

Loads of action in the race there, good old rain :twisted:
