Yeah, shocking

Fair play to him for keeping it under ''control'' after that

Seen where the two front tyres end up?? When he bounces off the armco, watch when it straightens back up, can see both the wheels smack the embankment then land in the public area behind the fence, lucky it was practice and not the race, could have taken a few spectators out!!

I'd want so new pants for about a week!
Did anyone watch the other chip of him being interviewed, cool as cool.
Even he was laughing about steering with no wheels.
