Not 100% confirmed yet

And if you think about it its just bad luck really I mean his car is what somewhere between 250-350bhp? tbs + gas and this has happend but 400+ lets can cope fine with standard crank....

Unless hes got a raised rev limmit etc not sure on his spec?

I thought they said the crank and rods were intact, so I wouldnt imagine it being crank failure
