In France this was the lead item on radio and TV news on Sunday. It wasn't until we saw the news that we figured out what they were saying (I could pick out Indianapolis, "tire", "rubber", and Michelin, but not enough other words). Watching the tire explode was impressive (though not as impressive as the tire that exploded on Saturday at Le Mans (it took out the rear body work and wing, but the car continued and limped back to the pits on three tires and one chewed up wheel). You could also see that securing the hubs to the chassis with a cable on F1 cars works to limit the potential damage.
