 Toyota change in upright material
In Friday practice for The Canadian race, Jarno Trulli had similar failures of the upright, this failure was where the upright meets the lower wishbone pivot. I heard that Toyota have switched from MMC to Titanium for their uprights in Indianapolis.
What are the material benefits of switching material?
One assumes the design remained the same and that they are fully machined parts. Surely the Ti uprights would have needed to be manufacturered specially for the race.
Wouldn't a design change and retaining MMC as the material not have been a better route to take?
