A1GP conveniently covered that up, didn't they?

I wonder... was it a failure or driver error? The way they say they are investigating it makes it sound like a failure - not good.
regardless of failure or driver error...... if patrick got injured seriously, this is big news....is the car as good as the old one when it comes to safety ??..

the serious accident i can recall with the old car was Hayanari Shimoda in australia, where the car got split in to two...and he got away with a minor concussion !
