What parts do you think can be reused?
Some small things perhaps. But even then only for customers and not for the factory cars, since they will never be able to guarantee their sturdiness again.
No, that car is a total write off. You can salvage perhaps a few grand on helmet nets, pencil holders and some elektrical buttons, but everything else will have had too much of an impact to use again.

I believe Msport works like their own insurance company. I'm not sure, perhaps somebody knows better than me, but here's what i think:
Instead of letting their customers pay someone else 30.000€ or whatever for the insurance, they just charge those 30k to their customers and take the risk themselves.
Which usually makes them more money since they produce all the parts and cars are rarely a total write off. Just because they ask 10 grand for some parts doesn't mean it costs them that much to build it.
Only in case of fire or a very hard crash like this, they lose money compared to when they would have external insurance.

Looks like some seriously bad luck. Can't blame the driver.
That said it's not like the team bosses will hire him based on a hypotetical result.

The problem is precisely that he's got no team bosses to worry about because he was hiring the car. If he'd been signed on to M-Sport like Evans or Suninen it'd be a different story and his future would be much more certain.
But like Ligato in Argentina some years back this was a one-off that will never happen, and he might never get another chance unless a team bites the bullet and gets him onboard based off of... What exactly?
