Apparently it isnt a "technical fault" according to Ferrari, just "bad luck". Will be interesting to see if theres any more cases. Keep an eye on http://www.wreckedexotics.com/

C'mon everyone, what's wrong with you? Someone posts a photo like this and still no T-cut jokes, almost a day later?



Seriously, though it's good to see that they're bio-degradable.

I'm just surprised that the FIA hasn't ruled that all teams must have their cars catch fire.You know,just to keep thing fair.
