given that side of the garage's run of form, very uncharacteristic of them!

right! the amount of heat generated by the brakes through those few corners/laps must have been massive. or maybe not so much the heating up but also why they were not subsequently cooling down?
even though it all happened very quickly, one would think, as you suggest, lots of sensors must have been going off.
