  • ... that Jenson Button (pictured) winning from Lewis Hamilton at the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix was the first one-two finish for British Formula One drivers in over a decade? Source: "Button and Hamilton closed up though they elected to be conservative and Button crossed the finish line after the 56th lap to take his second victory of the season and the ninth of his career." first Autosport website link. "Hamilton was 1.530 seconds behind in second to claim the first 1–2 finish for British drivers since Eddie Irvine and David Coulthard at the 1999 Austrian Grand Prix" The article cites an article in Autosport magazine, which I cannot directly access, but the statement can be verified through this second Autosport website link.

  • ALT1:... that both front wheels simultaneously detached from Sébastien Buemi's Formula One car (pictured) during free practice for the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix? Source: "With ten minutes remaining, the front wheels on Sébastien Buemi's Toro Rosso sheared under braking the turn 14 hairpin due to the right-front upright failing, causing the front-right wheel to break free. The front-left wheel followed suit when its upright section was suddenly forced to bear the entire load of the front. He was pitched into a gravel trap and a barrier at high speed. Although Buemi was unhurt, the FIA race director Charlie Whiting stopped the session for debris clearing and his teammate Jaime Alguersuari was kept in the garage while the team investigated the cause of the incident."

ALT1 is directly contradicted by the text cited as proving it. If "The front-left wheel followed suit", then the shearing off of the wheels was not simultaneous. Kevin McE (talk) 14:37, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

From the perspective of a human timescale it was simultaneous. There were probably milliseconds separating the points in time where the two wheels came off. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 21:15, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
Official footage which shows it was effectively simultaneous. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 01:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
If event B happens as a physical consequence of event A, then A and B are not simultaneous. That word is an absolute, not a perception. Kevin McE (talk) 13:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
