I hope he's OK, its not an ideal place to go off.
It looked like something came off the left side of the car, it wobbled as the suspension loaded up and went straight on. |

Yeah I hope he's ok.
Stupid, STUPID safety car rule! Once again someone suffers because they are forced to pit. |

Possibly a brake failure at the LF? I hope Heikki is OK - looks like he is buried under the tire wall.

It was like Lewis' Nurburgring failure last year! Almost identical!
Big hole in the front of the car. |

Looked to me like the tire simply blew up.

Yes, worried for Heikki's lower extremities... there appeared to be a very large section of the floor area gone behind the nose.
The on-board footage of the failure almost looked like it was a rim failure - perhaps it was rubbing on the brake caliper? |

Lewis' was caused by the suspension rubbing into the tyre IIRC.
Well, anyways, hopefully Heikki's feet and lower legs are fine but I can't say it looked great. |

Whats even more amusing is that no one on the ITV team noticed that it was his front tyre that blew up, they are mentioning suspension parts and wheel bearings...
Perhaps someone should tell them? |

Massa is going to get jumped by Hamilton at the last stop and then spin off in frustration.

Why is Fisi always getting the "push hard" message.

At this point, would it be appropriate to *yawn*?

Not exactly a promising sign that Heikki was just airlifted out. Hopefully it's just a precaution.
