Quote)Seems a bit harsh to penalise the driver so badly, not his fault at all. Seems like its all blown out of proportion. What I found scarier than the wheel coming off was the car rolling back down the hill unmanned. That could have ended very differently.
The driver is part of the team,they are penalising the team not just the driver.
What do you want them to do? let the driver run around the circut without the car?
