Tyre Inspection and Fault Investigation

While doing final checks on the car for a session, I noticed a small screw can become embedded in the Front Left tyre. There were no spare tyres on rims due to budget reasons and Goodyear had packed up as it was the final race of the day. The car needed to be sent out in 15 minutes.

So I decided to see if the small screw had actually caused a puncture or not. So I went and grabbed the tyre pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure repeatedly at approximately one-minute intervals, comparing the measurements with previous readings.

I learnt how to work under pressure with time constaints. How to think on the sport and do independent testing to present the issue. If I was to redo this next time I would ensure my tyre checks were done first not last on my checklist to make sure I had more time to fix the potential puncture as next time I might not be so lucky and it will reguire more time.
