OH&S Issue
Speedcafe are reporting that Mr Whincup gets a fine for dropping the champagne bottle off the podium!

Yeah, seems a little silly since drivers have been doing it for eons. Although to be fair, a glass bottle filled with liquid dropped on someone can be pretty nasty.

And they wonder why they are losing appeal / spectators / sponsors. **** like this is just retarded, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Supercars management are an absolute joke. |

Apparently the pitlane was still 'live' whilst the presentation occurred.
A smashed bottle of plonk could've been a bit of an issue. |

Obviously dropping a bottle in the pits is far more of an issue.... |

Judging by that picture he didn't let go very well. Should have been a straight perpendicular to the ground drop. That risked spilling the drink due to the angle. The risk of spillage clearly requires a fine. $1,000? He got off lightly.

On Saturday we saw an official only metres from the track with cars driving at 100% while under a safety car. |

yes the cars racing back to pits when Tander was stranded at T18 with an official running by the track to attend to GT looked very wrong.
