RIKB should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I've just been watching the BBC coverage from Thruxton and it seemed to me that in the feature race, Radermecker, also obviously playing the team game, was deliberatley blocking.

Especially during the restart after a safety car period, he held back whilst Plato powered off into the distance and of course no one else was able to overtake until they had crossed the line.

There was another incident where he seemed to be blocking to the advantage of his team mates as well.

The whole of Vauxhall is playing the game together. I think they expect Ford to start scrapping amongst themselves (which they are)and one or more to be damaged/punted off. I just wish it was on race to race basis - i.e. the one in the lead stays there. There is only one advantage to Muller aways being allowed to pass by Plato is that Plato won't bother to try and get past him on the first corner - well what would be the point.
