Not well designed ,when a simple nudge in the right place causes failure

e.g Chilton's blatant nudge on Sutton at the the last race. If that happended at higher speed = the end reulst would not be not good.

It should have enough strength to absorb that level of impact.
If you increase the robustness of the part - does that not encourage the driver to increase the level of impact?

For instance - if a driver knows that a light impact will potentially damage a part, they may be likely to avoid contact. If they know that a part will absorb a higher impact, they may be willing to make a harder contact - which could be even worse in the event of a part failure.
