Lewis Hamilton's Azerbaijan Grand Prix headrest issue explained

Lewis Hamilton's victory hopes in last weekend's Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix were dashed when his Mercedes' headrest came loose, forcing an additional pitstop to have it changed.

But what caused this rare problem, which occurred after the race had been red flagged, and if the stoppage was part of the cause for Hamilton, why were no other cars affected?

In this clip from the latest episode of Motorsport.tv's weekly programme The Flying Lap, Craig Scarborough talks Peter Windsor around a race-used F1 headrest, explaining the factors that played a part in the Mercedes version coming loose.
