Sabastien Buemi's Toro Rosso suffered an amazing catastrophic front suspension failure in P1 for the Chinese Grand Prix. Pretty scary moment.

New upright design introduced this weekend, apparently there's an issue with it. Also the wheel tethers (cables) are attatched to these uprights so the wheels weren't retained on the car. One wheel actually landed in a spectator area.

They rectified the issue with the upright and repaired the car.
