There's been quite a few "high profile" componentry failures on the grid over the years. Remembering back I think it was Peter Brock that sheared one of the first carbon fibre tailshafts on the grid.
Or maybe Skaifeys clutch overheated in a similar way to what happens in Formula1 if they leave it sitting for too long on the grid. They did hold the cars for a long time at revs before the green flag actually dropped this year. It may well be that MS attempted to take off in third gear, and caused the slippage. I'd like to see/hear some evidence other then hearsay before jumping to this conclusion myself though. Surely there's telemetry, or incar vision, or team members, or people that were watching the bigpond telecast out there that know the truth. |
