    Why noone never put hypothese that it is again a faulty suspension construction.... because this wld point toward Colin Chapman fault ??

    is it an unwritten rules that since Jim death, I have never seen in any book, thread, review on that sad accident involving Chapman ??

    We learn more by Chris don' t say but suggest . He simply left to us our own appreciation, but that 's clear that what he analyze go to the right direction .
    If we list the statistics of Lotus single seaters suspension failures, that wldn 't be surprising, but quite a normal event, with this time, so tragic consequences .

    Especially as suspension failure was implicated in several other Lotus crashes, including Rindt's.

    To put things on a happier note here are a couple of shots of 'The Man' at the annual Amon cricket match. Fun times, great guy, good friend.

    Reminiscent of the controversy surrounding the investigation of a fatal crash involving another very talented driver by the name of Ayrton Senna.
