What you saw in Australia that the car didn't absorb the energy enough. You could see that the side was flat, it deformed untill the rollcage and then the rollcage did its work too well. All that energy went into the drivers body, causing massive internal trauma. Same happened to Kristensen at the DTM, only he was lucky to be alive.
The cars are maybe too safe, as in that they are too strong. With a car that doesn't deform, that energy becomes leathal inside the body of the driver. And thats where the new danger lives I think.
