Yep, and in Monza the year before that - prompting the introduction of safety tethers that should keep the wheels attached to the chassis even when the suspension is broken... Yeah, the tether attachment point on the upright failing, the fact that both uprights failed under loads they should be able to handle, and that these were newly designed parts points to an engineering problem. Right now an engineer in Italy is peeking out from under his desk in a darkened room wondering if it is safe to leave without being seen and severely beaten.

Seems to have done a pretty good job "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
