JimFlat6:

Is there a fail safe system for the Turbos rear wheel steering?  Each side uses a heavy electric motor and a very small belt to turn each rear wheel. What happens if a belt fails on one side ? Will the broken side mechanically recenter and if so will the non broken side correct it self automatically to match the other wheels angle?  Just curious.

I heard that in case of malfunction, for whatever reason, both wheels will go "straight" instantly (not sure how this works though). Same with the new active aerodynamics: If the front lip cannot "inflate", the rear wing stays down too and vice versa to keep an aerodynamical balance.
