Look at the mounting points on the Swedish arms. Definitely not designed to be a direct replacement to the factory arms.

Correct, there’s absolutely nothing “factory” about that car. I was simply sharing the engineering.

And....?

You figure an FIA Formula 1 team that attracts the best of the best in the world doesn't have engineers, machinery, and unlimited resources can't have a repetitive front wing failure on a new part and have to resort to a prior version...?

LOL, Haas F1 just reverted back to a 12 race old car spec because they don't understand why the incrementally "improved" version is slower....

NASA gave an acceptable risk factor of 1/100,000 failure chance of the Challenger launch.
You reckon that there were qualified engineers building multi stage booster rockets at Matin Thiocol...?

**** happens,
