I saw the race on YouTube. I think it was a simple driver error, i know the team and designer got prosecuted for manslaughter but no one could prove that the steering column broke as a result of the crash or was weakened. As far as i know no other failures were detected on the car that could have caused the crash.
The track was changed but this was the first fatality at that corner. He was more pumped up following Roland Ratzenburgers death and his friend Rubens Barrichello nearly dying the day before.
He was a very aggressive driver , driving in a different time , in vastly different machine , to some degree ( and not wishing death on anyone ) , its too safe now ,
It says he was struck in the head by the right-front wheel and suspension assembly at high impact.
It says his close friend died earlier that day but he didn't take suggestions to not race.
My guess he wasn't fit to race mentally.
