Actually I'm probably over egging it. I remember reading some speculation in the classic car world a few years ago as to whether the air brake was deployed shortly before Levegh's 300 SLR hit the Austin Healey and whether than contributed to Levegh losing control - possible based on a series of pics including this one.



Wikipedia suggests not, so as you were
