This was in the Yas circuit in Abu Dhabi recently.... That guy was really lucky that his face wasnt in the engine when it went up....

Looked like a nitrous explosion. Something probably stuck on, switch..solenoid... My guess would be a nitrous solenoid stuck open and was emptying the bottle even after the first backfire.
