My impression now is that the increase in cornering speed, through improved aerodynamic performance, is beginning to outstrip the advance in component reliability. Hence the (possible) cause of Trulli's accident. We don't know yet, but it looked like mechanical failure. Was that caused by degradation of a suspension part damaged by contact or kerbing earlier in the race, or was it straightforward component failure at high lateral g? The latter is what worries me most.
