In some instances you are probably correct,but Driver Standards had no part in this case.We have to face facts,as some have already suggested,there is not much else to be done in respect of wheel tethering,there will always be the risk of a wheel breaking away from the hub,if that happens no amount of tethering will help.Its a risky business,we all know that,we should not start thinking in terms of "Full Roll Cages" or anything of the sort,Single Seaters have,by thier nature,been that much a higher risk,how many cars get launched because of wheel contact?. Then driver capability gets called into play.
