An F1 Car's Brake Suffering Fiery Slow Motion Death Is Weirdly Mesmerising

This is what happens when the brakes on F1 cars get too hot, as we see Esteban Gutierrez's Haas suffer a dramatic-looking fire after a mechanical problem in Chinese GP second practice

Gutierrez managed just six laps in total during Friday practice, after a gearbox issue in morning and the brake fire in the second session. It may have been a tough day for Haas, but the 2016 season has been going well so far. Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton were quickest in FP1, with Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel fastest in FP2.

“I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.” Johnny Cash started playing in my head as I watched this

The only appropriate song for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73r8oNZxt8A

what kinda bullshit song is that? lol. Is that even music or is that just “strange noises”?

Eurobeat intensifies

yes

Oh bugger

“Chinese barbecue” XD And they say German people have no humor.

“ Im coming in hot, get ready!”
“Esteban, that wasnt such a fast lap,dont celebrate yet”
“HOLY SH!T “
“Told you so”

Reminds me of Top Gear’s Hamster’s “Lo-Cost Nuclear Waste Disposal” Chevy van.

Couldnt he just speed up and put up the fire and leave everybody speechless and then on the interview he will be like : “Was I worried? Do you even airduck bro?” and then we’ll be like :” F1 driver used a meme frase”.
