There seem to be a multitude of errors in this whole operation.

It is fairly obvious Maria was not really given any time to learn to drive the car or operate it. This test was that time.

It is clear she felt a little uneasy at some parts of the cars controls. NAd this is what resulted in her having this incident.

Some spects of the car were not simple to operate, maybe she was not debriefed well enough.

But the simple fact she seemed to slow, then accelerate is a fairly easy indictment of her either confusing what she was supposed to do.

is that her fault? Yes and no, maybe she could have been asked to do this a few times away from a bloody truck with its tail lift down!!

But the whole thing is an accident, without the tail lift, she might have just driven into the truck and written off a nose.

Watch Hammond driving round Stowe and you will see driving an F1 car from scratch is not easy at all.
