JamesV70R Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Those damn trees, always popping up unexpectedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Nasty. The article says it could be repaired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Nasty. The article says it could be repaired! That car does look in pretty bad shape though compared to Rowan Atkinson's, which cost around £1m to repair? F1s are worth so much now though that there's a good chance it will be repaired, a car recently sold for £6m! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have to salute the strength of the chassis since the injury's were minimal given the impact with a tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesV70R Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm not sure how that could be "repaired" - there's going to be so much damage to the chassis (its one of those all in one carbon fibre ones, right?) thats its pretty much going to have to be rebuilt ... it'll be like Triggers Broom!

Tony Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 What just like new with 18 new heads and 10 new handles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it does look as though it would be a complete rebuild if it goes ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
