Footage of Vettals crash

Broken track rod? Difficult to tell from that video, but looks like tyre smoke before gravel dust which would not be indicative of a blowout, likewise I'd expect the car to bottom and spark if a wishbone failed.

In the video I am sure that I see sparks in a burst just before the dust kicks up.

My guess would be front suspension failure. Car then bottoms out hence why he had no chance to stop it.

If it was rear suspension, the car would have rotated and spun, it went in straight so it was surely front left suspension, or a complete failure of the front left tyre.

Eyewitnesses told that the front wing was striking the floor and sparking on one side.

If I am one of the autosport experts, I would say, Red Bull and Mercedes have pushed Ferrari so hard in testing that, in the eagerness to extract more and more performance, Ferrari has crashed!

In the press briefing, Vettel says, there was a problem on the left corner and then he had no more control.
