What a shock! I was there and i didn't see anything going on.
To deduct championship points from the drivers for something they had no part in is absolutely NOT ON! According to CAMS NCR 144 the entrant is responsible for all actions or omissions by any menber of the team. Further the responsible party is also accountable for their actions/omissions. The drivers are NOT responsible for the actions of the pit crew, unless they are the entrant of the car. In the case of HRT, they certainly are not.
All this smacks of rigging the championship to make it seem closer and more competitive than it really is. Is Tony Cochrane, related to Bill France or what?
HRT should definitely appeal, they merely need to produce the CAMS manual and rest their case. The rules are that clear.
