Sky suggested it could have been caused by the detour he took next to the start-finish straight
I wouldn't be surprised if something was already failing just before running wide. It is barely a corner running up to the straight, no way Kevin would have run wide in normal conditions.
That makes sense. But there was no video showing him hitting a barrier or something. What else could have caused the suspension to fail?
Inferior quality component, excessive wear, material exhaustion can all be factors at play. Only Haas will know
