Maldonado says it wasn't his fault. The wall came out of nowhere and hit him.

Indeed. Icing on the cake.
It must have been something very good for Mercedes to have persisted with it. Failed crash test pre launch. Failed pre Australian GP. Failed pre Malaysia. Failed pre Bahrain. Finally passing the last crash test pre China. Reports suggest it is apparently good for almost a second on tracks with long straights, like China. Huge advantage if true.
Although, so far the Merc's not showing that sort of form. But I suspect troubles in other areas and not related to the new front wing/nose design.
