go flat

It didn’t take long for all that fizz to go flat.

“It’s very difficult when the tires are not working any more and you have to go flat out, so I couldn’t afford to make too many mistakes. Luckily, we didn’t and super happy, of course, to win here today.”

“We have a light that comes on that gives you a couple of laps heads up that you’re actually going to run out of fuel. I didn’t see it with two laps to go. They came on the radio saying, ‘Go flat out, overtake, whatever you need.’

“You just have to go flat out and then hope that you’re not gonna fall over. … But it’s good fun.”

But even when a tire does go flat, Tal said, “the most common behavior today is calling AAA and sitting in your car and playing on your phone.”
