Quick reflexes from one of the mechanics working at the back of the car led them to notice the rolling wheel. They instantly dashed to lift it and prevent it from entering the track.
However, the mechanic did not check whether another car was approaching and managed to lift the wheel, narrowly avoiding a collision with Yuki Tsunoda passing nearby.
Fortunately, he remained at a safe distance to avoid being struck by the car.
