Ferrari investigates tub failure

Ferrari is investigating why one of its F399 chassis tore in half during an accident in a historic race at Laguna Seca in the United States. Technical director Ross Brawn said: “We have got the car back at the factory and we are looking at it. Although it’s the same model as the one Michael had his accident in [at Silverstone in 1999], it’s a very different sort of accident. In Michael’s he had a front impact and the wheel came back into the cockpit and that’s what broke his leg. With this one – as far as I understand – the car went backwards into a barrier and the wheel became stuck in the barrier as the car spun around it, putting a tensile load on the car.” The ’99 Ferrari was torn in half.

Pre-recycling erosion control. At one time, there was zero regard for pollution (much less fish habitat) and resources were seen as endless. People with those views are still around often equating personal convenience to correct.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
