An F1 team tried a new material in the front rotors/hubs I guess. Watch this vid to see what happens..

Yes, an Oh Sh*t moment for the spectators trying to dodge those tires flying at them at 100+ mph!

According to what info I have seen, it seems that the front spindle (upright) failed. Obviosly, somehow under hard breaking both of them broke... I wonder if it was a manufacturing defect.

And don't drivers try to steer when they have the brakes locked up and they're sliding on ice?

Happened so quickly he probably didn't realise it until he was heading for that wall, then he tried to "steer" away. Luckily, it wasn't worse instead of him just "bumping" that wall.

Seeing those spectators scramble did make me laugh though. Perfect title for them because I'm sure more than one said, "OH SH*T!"
