[edit] Hockeneim crash

As far as I remember, the reason of the fatal crash in Hockeneim are not sure. There are several reconstructions, spanning from broken suspension to problems with skirts (and consequently, ground effect). Is there some source stating that the steering wheel broke down ? Also, on the magazine Autosprint, they wrote that the fatal injuries were at the legs, which caused a massive loss of blood, and that was the cause of the death at the hospital. --Vinci71 (talk) 07:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I read (I think in Autosport) that he could have lost consciousness due to the high G-forces he sustained with a ground-effect car through the Ostkurve. It's impossible to know for sure, though.--Diniz(talk) 22:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
