We have already dealt with the case before and the comment by Ross Brawn at that time was confirmation that it was the same type of chassis as the one that crashed in Silverstone 1999. The rumor that it was modified was created by a spectator who noticed that Kroymans was rather tall and heavy for an F1 car.

That's why mirrors and bargeboards stayed intact. Supergluing car Schuey crashed in Silverstone was bad idea, but they never admitted it.
It was indeed shear forces. I can search for the video to proove it. Kroymans lost it in a turn and stuck the back and later the nose into a tyre wall. The car still had a bit of motion energy in the back end and was held at the front by the tyre stack. This is why it broke off clean at the vertical split. I believe Ferrari have changed their way of splitting the tub after that accident. Btw, it wasn't the Silverstone chassis 192. The Kroymans crash was in chassis 193.
hoi, dit was niet de wagen van silverstone, dat was chassisnr 192,
de auto die kroymans heeft is het chassisnr 193, waar schumacher mee won op san marino

Although it’s the same model as the one Michael had his accident in [at Silverstone in 1999], it’s a very different sort of accident. In Michael’s he had a front impact and the wheel came back into the cockpit and that’s what broke his leg. With this one – as far as I understand – the car went backwards into a barrier and the wheel became stuck in the barrier as the car spun around it, putting a tensile load on the car.”
