Nakajimma and Rossberg never changed, sorry.
Button did not run Kers at MAL, that was a colour left over from an old Key Coding.
Rubens has the new Chassis at BEL, not Button.

OK, trying to get the thread back somewhat on topic, I will start with these three articles #1 #2 and #3. Each only briefly mentions carbon fiber fatigue. I want to know a bit more. Additionally there are a host of articles relating to CF golf shafts... google "graphite, golf, flex etc."... that talk a bit about fatigue. Getting back on the subject.... how does this apply to the chassis and what is the current body of knowledge about it? What are the measurable criteria? Harmonic frequency, stiffness, etc.
