First rear blows and the techs confirm the tyres are definitely good for the rest of the race and it must be a one off due to debris.
Second rear blows and hmmm, maybe they need to check that ๐Ÿ™„

It certainly didn't look like a puncture on Stroll's car!

They'll be 18" wheels next year...

I wonder if there's any pirelli's going cheap, do you think I will need spacers on the rear to get them to fit.

Of course this was not half as Bad as the Michelin fiasco of the 2005 USA F1 GP, although of course they avoided anyone actually crashing in a dramatic way!

I did love Verstappen kicking the offending Tyre...

A couple of burst tyres during the Baku Grand Prix. Rather ruined Max Verstappen's race. Well, it ruined Lance Stroll's too, but he wasn't ina position to win!
