I'd say that was just a little dangerous.
Not only to your ears but if that one let go would the people around not be risk from flying debris? Pretty amazing though. Thanks!

Oh, I am sure every F1 team stands behind their work. Parts or designs no matter how well they are designed do fail. Wheels do fall off, and tires burst, rods are thrown. The whole clip just seemed kind of careless to me.

Awesomely stupid, you would think safety is a big issue in their line of work.
But very impressive revving, nonetheless.

I would have liked to have seen a rod fly out and hit one of those idiots...

I bet they were well below the operating limit on that. Rediculous no ear plugs though.
Who was it, the Orange/Manardi Team from a couple of years ago? What were they doing? maybe first fire up of the new car at the begining of the season?

Considering the fact that those things can run races lasting longer than an hour, with 70% of each lap spent at wide-open-throttle, I'd concur that they were well within operating limits. Didn't sound like they were bouncing off the rev-limiter or anything (or even close to the 17000+ rpm limit for that matter).
Pretty sure that was Tom Walkinshaw's (Orange) Arrows team that folded a few years back.
