Replays show his front left coming loose before bouncing off into the distance. Hulkenberg swiftly pulls over and ditches in the grass, while the wheel is stopped by a barrier.

Hamilton to start last in China
Summary
Angry Alonso
Fernando Alonso has just done his best Chewbacca impression.
His race engineer has the unenviable job of telling him there is no time to get another lap in after Q2 was red flagged, prompting howls from Alonso of "Gaaarr...Arrgh...Yaaargh."
Something like that anyway....
Huge disappointment for Pascal Wehrlein as he crashes out of Q1 after just three minutes.

Bang goes my win prediction of Hamilton
Same here but Hamilton already had a 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change last week.Bang goes my win prediction of Hamilton
Will be good to see how he gets on fighting from the back...again.
Nice bit of gossip, In 2015 Rosberg had technical issues, in 2016 they swap mechanics teams and now Hamilton's car is plagued. Conincidence?

It's safe to say the the new old qualifying was much more fun that the old new qualifying. And we're setup for a great race too. Yes Nico is on Pole Position, but we have a surprise in P2 with Daniel Ricciardo dragging Red Bull to the front row, just ahead of the charging and fast starting Ferrari duo.
Lewis Hamilton starts at the back after engine troubles in Q1 so expect to see him battling through the field. You'd be a fool to miss the Chinese Grand Prix!
Funny thing that, though you can't beat a good conspiracy theory.
Chinese Grand Prix
- Race at 07:00 BST
- Hamilton starts lasts, Rosberg on pole, Ricciardo 2nd, Raikkonen 3rd
Bit of a moment in the pits, Lewis Hamilton driving through and two Red Bull mechanics did not see the coming traffic and Hamilton had to swerve to avoid them.
Head says Rosberg win and Hamilton top 4, heart say Rosberg DNF and a Hamilton win
Hamilton...oops...
No win then
At least I got the safety car right, if it stays at 1.....
0 predicted for me, taxi booked
Good race so far...
Yeah, no way Vettel's wing will last the race.
