That's really odd... there doesn't seem to be any "foreign objects" hitting the rim... it looks like a sudden tyre deflation. But as that happens there is a small object which shoots straight upwards - could be either the cause or the result of the blowoutlukea6 wrote: ↑28 Feb 2019, 21:05https://twitter.com/sebvettelnews/statu ... 15685?s=12

That’s a piece of wheel. Probably cracked due to stress or a manufacturing issue.outsid3r wrote: ↑28 Feb 2019, 23:33That's really odd... there doesn't seem to be any "foreign objects" hitting the rim... it looks like a sudden tyre deflation.

The only other option would be the team didn't have enough pressure in the tire, or someone miss calculated/read what the pressure would/should be under running conditions.
Could it be one of those plugs the rims have that had failed or cross threaded somehow?outsid3r wrote: ↑28 Feb 2019, 23:33That's really odd... there doesn't seem to be any "foreign objects" hitting the rim... it looks like a sudden tyre deflation.

Or could be that foreign object fell in earlier, but didn't do damage till this moment. Than in that moment it slid in deeper and damaged the wheel.outsid3r wrote: ↑28 Feb 2019, 23:33That's really odd... there doesn't seem to be any "foreign objects" hitting the rim... it looks like a sudden tyre deflation.
