Spot on about the tires, Max was told his tire readings were in good shape every lap. He set the fastest lap on lap 44 before the lap 45 blow out.
He is very lucky to walk away without a scratch. Check out his speed right before the blow out.
F1 cars are on the cutting edge for safety but the tire seemed to delaminate on a low abrasion track. Not good.
I bet we would have seen other cars with 30+ lap tires suffer the same fate if not for the red flag. This may explain the motivation behind the red flag.
