Who was it that Massa punted last week, where his Ferrari drove away but the other car folded like tin foil?

They do seem to be a tad delicate, they look like the pansies of F1

Hm, maybe that's why DC needs holeproof undertaks?

well the marshalls are inspecting, which means a 22- place grid drop for slightly loose wishbones :shock:

Must explain why Webber's always breaking his car down.

I thought it fell to bits too easily when he hit Massa. Looks like maybe there's a reason.

Jarno Trulli had the same problem last year at...Canada. As soon he went over a small kurb, the suspension went into pieces.

So an Adrian Newey-designed car is a bit delicate. I can't say I'm too surprised. Most of the cars he's designed since he left Williams (where Patrick Head would have kept him honest) have been a bit, well, wimpy.

I think Newey's best days were indeed when he'll have been working with Patrick Head, afterall when Newey first came into the spotlight with March/Leyton House their cars weren't the greatest. Newey's aerodynamics in 1988 put March ahead of the badly-draggy and turbo-lagging cars thanks to the better acceleration from the Judd V8.
