On Inside Supercar Brad Jones made comment on the drivers who saw risk in the pile up and those who saw opportunity. The ones who saw opportunity got back on the gas.
If Fabs copped 35 points for his role. A few might have to watch out. As for Cam and Lowndes. If Lowndes gets nothing for this (if he actually tapped Cam), based on what happened on the back straight. Does this effectively mean on track square ups are okay? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk |

I think square-ups are where they're heading.
However not to be confused with taking someone out. In the Lowndes/Waters incident, IF Waters was deemed to have carted Lowndes wide, then perhaps it would be fair play IF Lowndes was deemed to have given him a nudge to unsettle the vehicle. |

the call was made by race control, ludo followed it up straight away and scott headed towards pits, then Race control corrected and it was too late would not have happened if race control had not made an error |

That mistake was all on race controls shoulders, Ludo simply followed the newest order from race control which was then corrected when it was too late for Ludo to react. unfortunately for Ludo he was too quick on the radio (as he had to be) before the correction was made.

Gee that is poor from race control. Its understood now the fault lies elsewhere, but not the best set of circumstances to get a driver and an engineer gelling early in their partnership. I wonder if this played a part in the decision to change their minds about allocating points. |

How many times were they told to stop on the grid and all Ludo could say was red flag, red flag.
Had Ludo corrected his call straight away Scot could still have followed the rest. Certainly a cock up by race control, but Ludo is a long way from blameless. |

In my opinion, Monsoir Larcroix would be best suited in a role that doesn't have direct communication with the driver during the race.
Mr Lowndes found him quite irritating at times last year. |

Everything Ludo said in that video was crystal clear and easy to understand.
It's also quite easy for drivers to hear, they have a helmet and moulded earpieces which combined rarely cause an issue with clarity over the radio. Majority of the time it's the engineers who have a more difficult time hearing and understanding the driver. |

Indeed there is no use of the term in the SC regulations. Per Stewards "Coulthard was deemed to have committed a "reckless driving " offence in his contact with Rick Kelly for failing to give racing room to car 15 on exit of turn 3" Further Coulthard was not held responsible for the carnage that ensured afterwards. Based on this I believe your last sentence should be deleted as irrelevant. |

The term "tongue in cheek" is relevent, though.

so lowndes gets a 15 points penalty, which based on where he was (5th) was a 6 point penalty
Cam drops back to 6th, an 18 point penalty Oh yes, thats a fair penalty, still Karma came back to bite him today |
