Broke

It looks like Fox News are getting uppity about Bloggers posting links to their stories so if these links are broke, you'll have to search their site if you want to learn more.

Anyway, talking of broken things and brakes:


According to Fox News, Charles Leclerc has "wrecked" a $1.5 million vintage Ferrari.

This vintage Ferrari:

Niki Lauda's from the 1974 F1 Season.

I put "wrecked" in quotes since what he has actually done is effectively backed it into a barrier damaging the rear wing a lot - and probably other stuff but he still drove it away from the incident.

The cause was brake failure.

As opposed to failure to use the brakes:
That spectacular crash, also reported by Fox, HAS actually wrecked the car...

...and a bit of a convention centre.

Nobody in the building was injured and the driver, miraculously, is in a stable condition in hospital.  He told the police that he had lost control of the brakes - more like he hit the accelerator instead of the brake.  Then he hit a concrete planter instead of the brake.  Then he hit a convention centre instead of the brake.
