Even Martin Brundle commented on ITV at the time how DC's car was destroyed by the contact with Massa, while Massa drove away unscathed.

Is there a thread for the BBC taking over F1 coverage from ITV yet?

That wouldn't give me a great deal of confidence at high speed in a RBR!!!

Ah, didn't hear that. Must have been making myself a coffee!

I don't think I would feel comfortable driving at 300kph in a car that has been glued together :D

What of I tell you that some suspension parts of the TGV (Train Grande Vitesse) that travels at over 300 kph are glued together?!

In fact the technique of gluing parts together is very advanced and widely used in the automotive, aeronautical and transporting industry.

Does anyone have a link showing the prang, please.

But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

If they don't get things right at this level of technology than this season will be like many others before.

Of course it can be checked. Take sample parts and test them under similar loads. If they fail, it a design problem, if they don't it's a manufacturing problem.

The more you write on this forum the less credible you get.
