So what happened to Rosberg? Sounded like mechanical failure.

When the wheel nut fails/isn't on there's no way for the tethers to do their job...

I think Vettel's car just doesn't run very well when behind another car, as soon as JB pitted, he went purple...

Why push when they'll just get stuck behind a car that needs to pit anyway? Save the tires and engine and just wait him out.

The tethers go to the uprights, not the wheels themselves.

yeah, but the amount of tires flying off this season seems a tad excessive...

The tethers go to the uprights, not the wheels themselves.

either way, they're not doing their jobs well...

Why F1 doesn't work for USA :run:

While eager Japanese fans chased F1 drivers around the paddock for most of the weekend, Jenson Button revealed how he had been subject to a bit of a celebrity mix-up earlier this year.

Button's world title success last season has made him one of Britain's biggest stars – so it was no surprise to him when he got stopped during his travels.

"I had an American come up to me at the airport, Heathrow, a few months back and she said 'Me and my family are big fans of yours,'" Button told Reuters during an interview in Japan.


"I said 'Wicked, thank you so much. I didn't think Formula 1 was that big in America.' And she said 'Yeah, we've got all your records, all your albums.' I was, like 'Fantastic. you think I'm Chris Martin don't you?' and she went 'Are you not?'

"I said 'No, I race in Formula 1 cars'. So she said 'What's your name?' and I said 'Jenson Button'. Then she said. 'Ah, my family are big fans of yours'. And I'm like, 'Yeah, of course they are.'"

Maybe it was Button's singing in the car when he won the title in Brazil last year that had confused her...
