Buemi's Formula One car
- ALT1:... that both front wheels simultaneously detached from Sébastien Buemi's Formula One car (pictured) during free practice for the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix? Source: "
With ten minutes remaining, the front wheels on Sébastien Buemi's Toro Rosso sheared under braking the turn 14 hairpin due to the right-front upright failing, causing the front-right wheel to break free. The front-left wheel followed suit when its upright section was suddenly forced to bear the entire load of the front. He was pitched into a gravel trap and a barrier at high speed. Although Buemi was unhurt, the FIA race director Charlie Whiting stopped the session for debris clearing and his teammate Jaime Alguersuari was kept in the garage while the team investigated the cause of the incident.

This is my first DYK review but I see no issues with the article, either hook is acceptable (assumed good faith with first hook as I don't have an Austosport subscription but BBC source verifies alternative suggested). Both images are freely licensed.

ALT1 is directly contradicted by the text cited as proving it. If "The front-left wheel followed suit", then the shearing off of the wheels was not simultaneous. Kevin McE (talk) 14:37, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- From the perspective of a human timescale it was simultaneous. There were probably milliseconds separating the points in time where the two wheels came off. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 21:15, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Official footage which shows it was effectively simultaneous. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 01:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
