Watched part of this on eurosport yesterday, what was the problem with that British driver who smashed the other guy off the tack whilst trying to overtake, he then seemed to be complaining about the stop & go he received for itsilly If that wasn't enoughbiggrin he smashed into a car after he crossed the line - think it was the same chap he hit before... Other bloke should've dropped himpunch


Did anyone see the gearbox that exploded over the trackeek

I saw the race at the circuit and the replay of the shunt - looked a racing incident to me - theses cup cars run rads in the front wings - contact like that generally buggers the rads, pushes temperatures up and you're out.

Westbrook is a very clean driver - a certain Mr Alzen would use that trick in the past, but not Richard. He has massive talent as evidenced by his drive back through the pack - averaged one car per lap in overtaking and awesome under brakes at Vale for starters.

Derek Warwick - mobile chicane

Agree
That was a racing incident-really surprised he was penalised. He is clean and got through the other 20 drivers or so without a problem

From what i saw, he helped the guy off the track to pass him, wasn't clean imo.. but if that's what's classed as a 'racing incident' then fine.

But the incident that happened after the flag was well out of order.
