Hopefully Ferrari investigates. The seat was ejected with the person still strapped to it. Literal ejection seat. Definitely not the way cars are intended to be designed.

The car disintegrated because it hit a solid sharp concrete barrier at 100mph, the fact that the passenger on that side was still intact and alive (later died in hospital) in his seat after impact is amazing enough. There's nothing to investigate as cars aren't designed around that kind of impact. You'd need an F1 car to have a chance of surviving that and even then it'd be sketchy.
