Website crashed.....No pun intended.

We aren't sure if it was jet wash, or structural failure that caused the crash.

My friend is part of the investigation team.

Looks like there may have been a moment of contact @ 0:35...

I don't see any contact to be honest, I do see a jet wash possibility, and on the previous lap it looked like he was washing out a little. Which is why we are considering a structural failure.

My condolences for your friend.

It's looking more and more like a mechanical failure.
