prototype should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

The role of the car's aerodynamics has to be to limit the extent of the car's ability to take to the air (and stay in the air once it gets there) and in all three accidents at Monza I give the LMP aerodynamics more than a passing grade.
I want to stress that I did not say we should make changes. What I do want is someone with an expertise in aero take a look at these accidents where the LMPs lift off the ground and determine if there is anything we can do to limit the quantity of these airborne accidents.
