Some of the camera shots on the grid and during Larkham's pre race videos really emphasize the cramped cockpit conditions which have been known for some considerable length of time so no great surprise that Red Bull had already addressed the problem with the additional helmet cooling. According to Jamie Whincup, Adrian Burgess approved the system but subsequently denied that he had given it the nod so it comes down to who you believe, what a shambles! I've seen drivers pulled out in a state of collapse at le Mans before the cooling was introduced, this issue should have been addressed long ago.
SVG and co won R1 fairly on the track and with a slight infringement which could be interpreted either way drove a cracking race for the win in R2 from a less than ideal grid position, you could argue that he nudged Mostert wide and be penalised accordingly but that doesn't detract from his overall driving skills.
