When a race car crashes, what do we do once we know the driver is OK? We instantly try to assess the damage. How bad is the wreck? Is the car done for the day? Where will it end up in the final finishing order? Then, just as quickly, we move on, shifting our attention to the cars and racers who are still in the hunt.
But the shockwaves from that crash continue long after we the spectators have stopped paying attention. That isn't just a wrecked race car that's being towed back to the garage. That's a machine that had been worked on for months -- by some measurements, years -- by hundreds of people.
