Good article in the Grauniad about him today, sounds like a very reasoned chap.
Fairly scathing piece on Contador as well.
Is this a short version?

Can't find it
... The question then is why did the rear step out? The car bottomed much harder on that second lap which again appears to be unusual because the tyre pressure should have come up by then – which leaves you expecting that the right rear tyre probably picked up a puncture from debris on the track. If I was pushed into picking out a single most likely cause that would be it."
So he thinks ayrton's crash was caused by a puncture?
A 600-page technical report was submitted by Bologna University under Professor Enrico Lorenzini and his team of specialists. The report concluded that a stress fracture had developed through 70% of the steering column at the point where it had broken. Lorenzini stated: "It had been badly welded together about a third of the way down and couldn't stand the strain of the race.
We discovered scratches on the crack in the steering rod. It seemed like the job had been done in a hurry but I can't say how long before the race. Someone had tried to smooth over the join following the welding. I have never seen anything like it. I believe the rod was faulty and probably cracked even during the warm-up. Moments before the crash only a tiny piece was left connected and therefore the car didn't respond in the bend."
Sorry Tricky it is on the back page as part of the Richard Williams (I think) article, just a small piece.
tricky - yes he does think that. Did you read the article?
