Two wheels on my wagon
Just seen Buemi lose the two front wheels. 
Totally freak accident.
But the tethers (sp) didn't work. Surely they are the one thing that must be very over engineered. Flying wheels kill. luckily no one seemed to
be injured.

they said the tethers are attached to the bit of the upright which broke off, then the load on the other upright caused it to come off in sympathy -
looked nasty, they didn't manage to get his car back together for P2 either....
I wonder if we can twitter him asking for 6 numbers between 1 and 49....

I heard that Cortina front hubs just rocketed in price as soon as F1 saw the light!

I liked the bit when he frantically tried to steer the car through the corner, despite having both front wheels fall off!

well you'd have to try, just in case! If you didnt they might think you'd done a Nelson!

I just watched it now. Looked like something was loose, just before the wheels depart. You see a wishbone flap

From his low position he would have not been able to see what was or wasnt left in a split second it happened so he would have instintivly steered
away from the barriers...

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.
