RBR facing possible exclusion from GP

[71minus2]

i think that you could compare that to driving over some catseyes on the M25! Both DC's and TG's cars seemed exsessively damaged in relation to the crash.

i just looked at my old video of the massa 'bump', still looks like parts of the suspension came apart due to the bump of the cars (esp the rear wheel contacting the front wheel of Massa's car), but the rest did go flying off with car going into the air and coming down, but Ihave seen numerous other cars go equally airbonre, flip over and so far, without all the suspension part coimg off. As to Tim (TG) that seems to me due to the fact that the raised ground was like hittting a low wall, so that does not seem to be that big a problem.

and this new crash--my oh my, that just looks completely

Adrian Newey has a history of building fragile cars, I seem to remember a problem with McLarens suspension a few years ago

Read my mind.

The Red Bull looked like the old McLaren's from 2005.
Anyone remember this?

Really? Timo's car comes back down quite hard. I'm surprised at how well it handled the initial impact. The argument can made about DCs failure, but even there hitting the 3-4inch curb from the wrong side at speed, it seems reasonable to expect component failure.

RB's cleared to run!

The FIA has said it will continue to review the safety of the suspension of Red Bull Racing's RB4, despite giving the team the green light to continue competing in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

The team's cars took to the track in Saturday morning's free practice session at Sepang just minutes after the FIA confirmed it was to take no action against the team in the wake of David Coulthard's spectacular accident on Friday.

Another shot of the off from SPEED.

the hit looks a little harder from that angle

a 4" step on that curbing?
OK, in that case I'm not surprised
we hit something similar at MIRA and there wasn't much left of our front and that was at a much lower speed
