"I wonder what that button does?"

[HULK]

Omg that is shocking!! How can the driver ever have the confidence to drive at 200 mph again after that

Thank fully no one hurt either in or out of the car but the best bit for me is when he tries to steer away from the oncoming armco with no front wheels :eek:

Are the wheels not meant to be attached via a chain or something to prevent things like this happening, obviously not directly but to ensure loose wheels don't fly off?

after watching the video a few times as he is braking for the turn its as if that both front carbon brake discs explode and take out the wheels :eek: but fook me its scary seeing sumit like that happen

On the bbc clip in slowmo you can see the suspension setup twist round and under itself on both sides before it shears off.

There were news reports throughout the day saying the suspension had collapsed, causing the accident.
