I doubt that was a prank. It looked like the steering shaft broke off...

I think it did, too. Maybe the crew needs to replace that part more often due to extreme wear....

Wholly KOW!

That COULD NOT have been a "prank". It could (and would) have been negligent homicide.

Too bad we had to see a face shield instead.

Can you say "Magnaflux everything!"

That was really funny. Could that have been one of those steering wheels that have to come off to get in and out of the race car? Or did it just self destruct?

On the removable steering wheels, it slides off the end of the shaft, not have a bunch of shaft come out with it...
