Better let the Formula 1 teams know……
how much of the frame do they use after a smash?

Look at the amount of carbon fibre debris shed after a simple wheel to wing contact.

You can't bend composites back into shape.

​​​​​​​You can make them survivable in a crash - as we see most weeks in F1 - but you don't re-use much afterwards.
