That water will just push the fire around.. they need foam. They are not prepared for the fire, they are lucky there isnt anyone stuck in there...

Yeah, wonder how the heat will affect the safer barrier, track surface and fence / wires?

I predict a new rule will come from this, such as a speed limit during "catching up", or something.

That was quite a fire...glad to see everyone walk away. I'd imagine that a fire like that would do some damage to the track....

Looking at the video, I'm thinking he hit the brakes with two wheels on the wet yellow stripes.

In reply to Toyman01:

He was complaining of a vibration in the car, and they were looking at the rear end during the pit stop. Something broke.
