Sure looked like the block hit to me, unless it was just a really weird coincidence. I saw the cone shoot across the track, what looked like into the rear tire of the Castrol car with quite a bit of velocity, and milliseconds later, Forces car was out of control.

Those wrinklewalls are paper thin and the Force team has been totally jinxed this year, so it wouldn't surprise me if that a sharp corner or the reflector damaged the tire.

I also believe that Force will try to drive again, see how it feels, decide if he should hang it up or not - he's almost 60, he knows he is gonna have to quit sooner rather than later.

I hope Hight can win a Championship and I wish Ashley would just sit out till next year.
