The Marussia F1 team have concluded an internal investigation in the cause of the crash that resulted in their test and reserve driver Mara De Villota losing her right eye. In a statement on the team's website they confirmed that there was no fault on the car that caused the accident. They have passed their findings on to the HSE who are carrying out their own investigation into the accident.
When the crash happened the runway was extremely wet and I believe that this may have been a factor in the cause of the crash as Maria did everything right when she brought the car back to the pit area.
There of course will now be a load of speculation as to the cause of the crash. And there will be those who will say it was driver error, well if anyone says that they should look at the fact's of the case. The main one being that Maria had tested A Formula One car a number of times and she is an experienced racing driver.
Once all the investigation's are concluded I am sure that we will get answers. The main question that needs to be answered is why was the lorry ramp at the height where it could cause serious injury? Why wasn't it closed up as there was no car waiting to be loaded or unloaded.
