Hamilton accident cleared up

The puncture suffered by the 2008 world champion turned out to be caused by a rupture of the rim, tire wear was therefore not responsible for the accident, as was discussed after the Grand Prix.

Director Martin Whitmarsh also commented: “ We didn't think the puncture was due to a tire problem. We now have to identify what caused this break on the rim. » The director of McLaren has also put forward certain avenues. “ The break could have been caused by debris on the track, or perhaps due to improper tightening of a wheel nut during the pit stop.Hamilton which would have left too much play. »
