Front Tyres Defy Physics (youtu.be)

When you watch the front tyres of these cars in slow motion, it sure looks like they are rotating faster than the ground would have them rotate. Makes no sense! Any physicists in here that can explain?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Could you explain better what puzzles you¿?

When you watch the video at the 7:17 timestamp, the front tyres are moving faster than the ground under them. This can easily happen with rear (powered) tyres (i.e., "burning rubber", "peeling out", etc.). But how can the front tyres go faster than the ground is making them move?

I don't think they are. They are spinning faster than piastri's rears because Ric is actually going faster
