Stirling.

This sounds a really traumatic event for you.
I know you have seen and been through worse before so I wish you all the best for you recovery. I’m sure you have the strength and resolve to make light work of it.

Good luck and keep the rubber side down!

Comment on After Atlanta NASCAR Needs To Park A ‘Sacred Cow’ by James Broomhead

I agree, there wouldn’t be any real discussion if Brad has simply spun though the grass or even hit the wall ‘normally’. There would have five minutes of discussion during the following caution and that would be it.

When Brad spun Carl last year (Aaron’s 499 at Talladega) it was for the win on the final corner or the final lap. It was also unintentional, or at least the intention was less blatant.

Like Sunday’s crash it’s only lived long in the memory and highlight reel because the car took off. That was the only thing truly ’similar’ about the two incidents.

I agree that Carl Edwards should be punished for the incident, it could have been much more serious than that. The fact that the parts of the car that should prevent it from flying didn’t work as they were expected is a factor.

I don’t know what happened when Brad did a similar thing to Carl, was there a punishment given then? If so, the same should be applied now.

Maybe I would think differently about it if the car had only spun out rather than flew through the air…

Indeed time will tell. Not expecting this to be an overnight thing – it’s really win or bust by mid-season. Either they will collapse and bring the sport to its knees once again, or they will recover and nobody will even notice this brief blip. Either way, at this moment in time, they do have some problems.

My money is on Jenson, maybe my heart taking over here, but he will be able to keep the tyres at their peak for much longer so will be faster at tracks like Silverstone and Monaco where tyre wear is higher.

I think Lewis will have the upper hand this year.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a copy available for sale, we’ve managed to get a copy via Porsche press, so might be worth dropping Porsche an email.
