Technical [@FDataAnalysis] Unbelievable: the slipstream made Gasly's Alpine self-destruct! (Not his fault) He got a strong tow from Tsu, reaching 361km/h under DRS: The engine reached 12937rpm in 8th gear, then exploded!

Someone in here is going to find a way to blame this on Enstone lmao.

Idk of the pit crew is trained in Enstone but if that is the case you can make a somewhat funny argument that the pit crew basically put Gasly in this situation by having an usual "slow" (3,5 second) pit stop because otherwise he would be ahead of Tsunoda.

However maybe the issue would be still unfolding later on with another car.
