Ahh, brilliant, thanks Sean. So essentially they brought him in during the race to try and provide some front downforce with that metal plank. I was trying to figure out the order in which things happened.

That is a repair job after losing the second nosecone. This is from the actual report.

" Merzario had had another shunt, going off through catch fencing on only the second lap of the race and setroying the second and last nosepiece brought by the team; he had to carry on with bare chassis with giant understeer until a hasty addition of a metal plate gave him medium understeer."

Thats brilliant Sean, thanks heaps. So re the photos shown earlier of the car with what appears to be a flat board attached to the nose, do you know when this was? Was it after losing both nose cones?

Steve Holmes wrote:Really superb shot this one. I assume its not long after the start, possibly the first lap, as the track is still wet, and the cars appear to be running in order close to where they qualified. The leaders have already gone through, while Hulme leads this gaggle, after starting 7th. Next is Cevert, Wilson Fittipaldi, Jackie Oliver, Chris Amon in the Tyrrell, Mike Hailwood etc.

The etc are George Follmer, James Hunt, Rolf Stommelen, Carlos Pace and either JP Beltoise or Peter Gethin. This would be the opening lap because Hulme ended lap one 13th and lap 2 24th. A sticking throttle and 2 punctures destroyed his race.
