Short report:

Accident at the trainings-session, because of tire blow-up at the fastest area of the track. Collision with the guide rail.

4 hours repairing the car.

Third start place at the qualifying.

Start collision in the first race by the hit of an other car. Mini is scrap.

"Successful weekend".

No other start this year. No start at Brands Hatch.

Is the wheel from car 18 ?

I can't read much french either but the front left wheel does appear to be missing in the photo one post above.
