Indeed he did Peter!
What's happened to the team orders?
But this is the thing that p!sses me off, as maybe you haven't noticed but Vincent Radermecker had to give up his car for Muller in the feature. There are still team orders, and I think they should just let Vincent go and race. It's a shame because he's a darn good driver in my opinion and deserves better than to be a clear number 3.
What do these results do to the chamionship?

All I can tell you is that Menu leads and Rydell is 10 points behind, followed by Reid. That doesn't really help with the Vauxhall drivers though.

What actually happened to Muller and Rads in the sprint race? We never saw them come back through and Muller's car didn't look that bent up when it passed us on the truck.

[Danielsun]

What I can say is that Anthony Reid seems to have been blamed for whatever happened. And it was he who took off Thompson. Oaf of the day? I think we have a new lead candidate...

[Les]

It seems that Mullers car was badly damaged so he took Radermakers. It seems the spare car has yet to be fixed from Croft.

In Derek Warwicks words 'Radermaker ****** up at Silverstone and had a new car. He then smashed that at Croft and had his original back.'

A little unfair from Derek I think.

I must admit Muller seem to do better in this car than the one he used at Croft so maybe he should keep it.

[Danielsun]

At the risk of 'Muller-bashing,' I too thought he did better in that machine than he has in his own of late. Barring the team's brilliant strategy at Silverstone in the Feature Race, Muller's form has been a tad - shall we say - a bloody letdown to put it mildly...

Plato has been Numero Uno in terms of outright speed ever since Silverstone. Perhaps a new set of team orders will be in place by season's end...

[Peter Mallett]

PLATO!!!

[Danielsun]

Further to one of my previous replies, Anthony Reid did in fact get the finger pointed at him for his part in the two incidents to take place during the night's Sprint Race. Fines and endorsements are all he suffered, however...

[Liz]

And after Muller and Rads had a word with him? Cuts and bruises, perhaps?

[Les]

What did you expect him to get - loss of points. Nah he drives a Ford.

[ganda123]

Actually Les, Rydell (Ford ) lost his points and hasn't got them back for his second at Silverstone in the feature. If he had them he would be leading by now. And, surpreise surprise, the cause of his hit in the sprint which knocked the rear wing out of alignment in the first place was...er....Reid. Oaf. Embarrasing for Ford though, as he was hit by his own team mate, but hey that's an oaf for you!

[Les]

Ahh but Rickard isn't 100% Ford - he is still Volvo in disguise.
I presume you have heard that Ford threatened to walk out if their cars were disqualified (it was really early in the season and I can't remember why). When Vauxhall & Honda heard they both said they wpuld quit if Ford weren't punished!.
How's that for trying to push your weight around.

[Danielsun]

Having now watched the TV coverage of both Silverstone and Snetterton, I cannot believe the krap that goes on at the other parts of the track! I decided to not support Gabriele Tarquini after Silverstone, thinking that it was he who hit Rickard - okay he did once, but it was that oaf Reid who did the damage.

With the history between those two drivers, I should never have been surprised to see it happen. I wholly blame him for Rickard not leading the Championship now. As for Snetterton, however, he can't be accused for punting Thompson off in the Sprint Race. Thompson just did his usual thing: once he's on the inside of the track, he just assumes that everyone else will move aside for him. He almost pushed Ried off and deserved to be spun himself...
