Role Models..

[speedy king]

DISGUSTING behaviour post qualifying between Neal & Plato.

Matt Neal especially for the immediate offering of violence in the pit lane. These are role models to youngsters, I'd be ashamed to be a Matt Neal fan right now or indeed a one of Plato's.

Matt Neal and Jason Plato are the two most experienced drivers in the championship and their behaviour was appalling. I hope they are both punished. It took the gloss off a great qualifying session.

I am sure that Matt would be the first to apologise, but I hope that you viewed all the incidents from the restart - if you did, then you will know that there is only one person guilty in all of this and that is Plato. His behaviour from the minute they started to roll out of the pits, where he barged the two Hondas, followed by that disgraceful braking incident with Neal that could have injured Neal, followed by the incident at the chicane when three cars were prevented from completing hot laps, all because of Plato's bad driving. Add to that his infantile behaviour and gestures as he ran away from Matt Neal, the man is an absolute disgrace to the sport and should be penalised heavily for his actions.

pretty bias comment mate. Neal raising the fist is far worse then anything Plato did on track. ok it was wrong but end of the day Neal showed the violence and that makes him the bad one here in my eyes. forget that im a Chevy fan..im saying that as an out right motorsport fan

Haven't seen it yet, but sadly none of it surprises me. Another desperate bit of publicity from a "personality"-led championship that long ago ceased to be about motor racing.

That said, back at Donington Park Jason was a very convincing "roll" model...

Personally, nothing sounds better than a racing drivers knuckles breaking when they hit a crash helmet.

Careless, but I doubt anyone would class them as role models....

I'm away at a family do and didn't even bother recording today's broadcast. It'll be the Surat time in about 8 years I'll have missed a race and to be honest I'm not bothered any more.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is all a bit put on!
