McLaren say Alonso cracked seat did its job well
McLaren has played down reports Fernando Alonso's carbon seat was ‘broken' in his high-speed Melbourne crash. We reported this week that amid claims the seat was broken amid the 46G forces, the FIA had launched an investigation so as to learn from the incident.
