...report of a trauma expert at La Pitie-Salpetriere hospital, the nature of Rees-Jones' facial injuries suggests that the air bags may have inflated with explosive force before the Mercedes struck the 13th pillar. That raises the possibility that the initial brush with another car, the mysterious Fiat Uno, may have triggered the deployment of the air bags, stunning and blinding Paul at a critical moment. At the request of Rees-Jones' French attorney, investigating Judge Herve Stephan ordered a technical report on the air bags last December. The resulting document is inconclusive but does not rule out this...

By comparing the mathematical curve of the Mercedes' trajectory with the actual tire marks left on the road surface, Pietri concludes that the car "tended systematically to veer to the right."

The inherent instability of the vehicle, says Pietri, could be due to faulty shock absorbers or, more likely, to a misalignment of the wheels...

So despite its corporate strength, Friday's will probably fade away and disappear into the realm of mediocrity whence it came...
