Yes itr was a big American pick up truck...but it was travelling
against the direction of the circuit...surely you can see that by doing this he/she
reduced the distance between the truck and the race cars, thereby
increasing the chance of them coming in to conflict..?

Why do we have to side with him/her? If he/she was wrong why should it be overlooked so casually..? It could have led to a very serious accident...possibly resulting in serious injury or even death...would you be so happy to just let it go then..?

Yet you're happy to indicate an assumption that the organisers are in the wrong - "...and a radio call,
if somebody bothered" - you can't have it both ways...
I understand fellow track workers feeling protective over their own, but maybe you just need to accept that he/she made a mistake by not following procedure (as stated in the press release above), and is being punished accordingly with a 2 race suspension as a result...
