Formula 1 and all other open wheel cars, Lotus uses this deisgn, Ferrari obviously, I believe Lambo does too, LM style cars follow it. The porsche guy should be left with a racing ticket and thats it. The ferrari driver is at fault. As for those who want to rag ferrari, you design one better it's easy to be behind the computer and bash someone but's actually a great design and this was a freak thing.
I agree.. The porsche guy should be charged only with racing..

But the other comment about suspension isn't all true.. The suspension is designed to break to lessen the damage on the chassis or frame.. So if you pop a curb, you only need to replace you suspension vs. totaling your car.. Most if not all cars are designed that way.. Also, the cabin is always designed to protect the occupants - same characteristics of a roll cage..
