    Hard crash! Good to know he’s okay. Those kerbs really do a number on the suspension. I bet the rest of the drivers finally listened to their engineers now.

      Sky suggested it could have been caused by the detour he took next to the start-finish straight

        I wouldn’t be surprised if something was already failing just before running wide. It is barely a corner running up to the straight, no way Kevin would have run wide in normal conditions.

          That makes sense. But there was no video showing him hitting a barrier or something. What else could have caused the suspension to fail?

            Inferior quality component, excessive wear, material exhaustion can all be factors at play. Only Haas will know

      LOL stupid me was looking at the wrong side. I saw him clipping the curb and thought right rear actually failed. Nice screengrab!
