@f1archived on Instagram: "Rick Mears was involved in one of the most memorable pit lane fire incidents of the early 1980s at the Indianapolis 500, an era when Indy cars ran on methanol. Unlike gasoline, methanol burns with a flame that can be extremely faint or nearly invisible in bright daylight, making fires harder to detect and adding a unique layer of danger during high-pressure pit stops.
