The first expertise “brings to light” some first facts about the causes of the tragic accident with Ferrari, during which George Monogyios lost his life.
Experts who are asked to answer the question why the fatal super car went off course and was engulfed immediately after the collision with the flames seem to estimate that the steering wheel of the car gives important information that may explain the causes of the tragic accident.
This car model has five operating positions on the right side of the steering wheel, which even refers to the steering wheel of formula 1.
The fourth and fifth positions concern the traction control system, ie the traction control system, while the fifth position is related to the electronic stability system, the well-known ESP.
Early evidence suggests that the ESP was switched off or that there was no knowledge of how to turn it on, given that the unlucky driver was driving for the first time.
Failure of the ESP resulted in the car overturning at a sudden throttle.
In any case, given the severe impact and burning that resulted in the car wreckage, experts are not able to answer with certainty that the ESP was indeed deactivated or appears deactivated because the switch may have been moved after the accident.
Because it caught fire
According to the expert, the fire broke out in the fuel tank under the driver’s seat, with the severity of the collision probably causing the fuel to leak.
The fuel tanks in this vehicle are located below the storage compartment at the front of the fuselage and below the driver and front passenger seats.
At the same time, the quality and characteristics of the tires are investigated.
As it has become known, the vehicle was moving between 100 and 120 kilometers. This speed is not considered high for this type of vehicle, however, as experts explained to SKAI, disabling ESP in combination with a sudden throttle can lead to overturning and deflection even at low speeds.
