What about the FIA for not keeping the cost of racing reasonable?
What about the team that never really progressed?

Yes it's pretty fair, on balance, to largely blame Bernie (aided of course by the naked self-interest of the top 5 teams, which he gleefully exploits).

Interesting design. Not that complicated overrall. But.. i think i found the failure. Threads entry seems to be stripped. But the material behind the thread is nice and clean.. As if it was inserts.. very strange.
