Watching the Speed Channel broadcast, it looked like something came off of the car before he went into the tires...... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Looks like a brake failure as he kept on straight.

The marshals are trying to pull the car out from under the tyres

At the moment Heidfeld leads from Raikkonen but Heidfeld has pitted. The pitlane isn't open though!!

That's what they were saying on the Speed broadcast; I think it was Matchett who mentioned something coming off the car as Kovalainen entered the corner before he went off into the tires......

As Barrichello exits from his pit stop his front nose is dislodged. Very strange!!
