Whilst going public is out of general character for Mr Stone, I imagine it was written/done in a heat of the moment scenario and a general level of being "pi$$ed off" was evident. Who hasn't been in that situation once or twice.
The whole saga and unearthing of big $$ owed to parties who have helped pave Scott's journey taints his accomplishments and overall "good young kid" persona. Sad that the father is the one holding the dollars back and Scott being labelled for the deed. The pair of them need to grow a set and face up to those out of pocket and set things right, if just to limit the damage done to the following generation of Kiwi drivers coming across trying to get established. They will be tainted by McLaughlin Snr's antics and find it very difficult to cut a deal for a drive. Better come with folding at the ready.
