Michael Schumacher was 27 years old in 1996

Yeah, after sliding on tarmac for that long at those speeds, I'd be surprised if i wasn't punctured. =p
-
at 00:29 , is that when it happens? or is it just a blur on the recording?
-
94070 is correct, it was a brake disc exploding that caused it. Saw the race live back in 96 and had the Official review video.

why would u see a cloud if its a punture hamilton has had some in recent years and u didn't see a cloud u get clouds from brake dust not thin air the wheel was moving from side to side a hell of alot thats how u would be able to tell from a slow motion shot maybe cus it came off the rim and that why it looked loched up yeah the tires locked underbraking so it was a brake or suspention problem

if you look closely at around 0:27, when Schumacher gets out of the car, he leans on the front right tyre with his right hand and it seems to me that the tyre has very low pressure... Tyre puncture???

@JoslockESP
I suspect that the tyre lost its pressure as a result of friction with the track for some half a lap. It simply worn through.
The actual reason for wheel to start blocking was a wheel-bearing failure which occurred somewhere near Acque Minerale, according to Schumacher.
