Can a driving style cause mechanical failures nowadays?
I don't think so. They now have rev limiters and automatic gearboxes, so I would say all mechanical failures are caused by bad luck. The only exception I can think of is when the driver had a touch with another car before his car failed, as he probably would have damaged it to the extent that it broke down a few laps later (e.g M Schumacher and Wurz at Monaco 1998).
Today's cars are designed to be driven to the limit. If they brake down that's just bad luck. I just can't see how a driver can cause the car to break down due to his driving style these days. What do you think? |
