Burning to death has to be one of the worst ways to go, so race drivers have to be grateful for their cockpit fire suppression systems.

That’s exactly what happens here, and while Jonathan Adam is clearly doing his best to stay competitive, it’s got to be pretty difficult to race effectively when the car is turning into a foam party for one. An informal office poll found that nobody here had seen this before. Ever heard of this happening?
