Just a reminder:
" 1973 worked for Goodyear as F1 tyre fitter
To combat punctures they brought in McLoTy to solve these.
1) test with Ronnie Peterson at Silverstone: Engineer would puncture a tyre with a screwdriver and RP would drive 'at speed' and report back.
Never seen anyone go completely white as said engineer when he thought RP was only doing a 'warm up' lap and there was no McLoTy applied.
We could hear the Lotus engine screaming, together with the 'machine gun' fusillade of tyre vibration sounds.
Result: nothing, RP was well aware of the problem and drove like that to teach engineer a lesson.

Cars do warm up lap and form grid.
Go! or not, because the gunge had warmed up and sunk to the bottom of the tyre, giving monumental out of balance. The wheels just bounced up and down!
