I got the impression that he wasn't happy about a safety issue with the car, but i could be wrong.

Weaver was not happay that the Bentleys did not have a tyre pressure detection system fitted as I recall. This would have given advance warning of a puncture.

His decision came two weeks after Michele Alboreto, testing an Audi R8 was killed, so it is possible this influanced him as well
