from the pics, it looks like he backed it into a wall or something.
I heard modern street car technology contributed to the safety of these race cars. it used to be the other way around.

He might be testing out the durability of new bridgestones and pushing it alittle to far. Bridgestone tires fail way less often than Michillens. I really hope that crash didn't affect this weekend's race. Luckily Ferrari is always strong at Monza, maybe Ruben will win for once. It's been a long time

Modern cars get their technology from the race cars. Always have always will. It's only a matter of time before street cars are made of carbon fibre too.

guys, you forget that anything man made is prone to fail at any given moment. This is especially true of tires since they are subjected to insane loads and run at temps that would melt a typical road tire.
At Monza, the high speeds interrupted by the quick chicanes can upset a tire's stability. and since the rear tires must handle the acceleration shifts, it's no surprise that it was one of the rear tires that punctured.
And lay off Bridgestone, i believe they have proven their reliability this year, leaving michilen where? oh yes...wadded up in the tire walls.
