The two hour montage show on ABC is horrible, they keep up with more crap like this and I don't know how much longer I will bother following the series aside from checking results online.

Finally finished watching the race. Didn't have any kind of problem with what Hand said afterwards. You hear that on a weekly basis in Nascar.
Funny to read back the last few pages and see how heated people get. Was gutted for Muscle Milk who saw their race fall away just as they were in line to take second. |

I understand that people could be offended by Joey's comments, but I don't see the need for so much hate being thrown his way, IMO. In one way he should been happy to win, and another absolutely livid at such utter classless driving by Bruni. After 3 and a half hours in the car and a battle on the last laps with a car 100 laps down, I'm sure I'd have some words to say to some POS who just tried to ruin all my hard work too if someone crammed a mic in my face and started to ask me questions as soon as I got out of the car.
Maybe he should have just walked over the Green Park and set something on fire to relive his stress. |

As opposed to Hand's Classless comments .
Look , the point is that he gobbed off on the TV and radio . If he had kept his cake hole shut , nobody would have known the differance and all negative publicity would have been avoided . As you can see from other numerous posts , many were not amused by the public admission . Surely you can see that ? And its got nothing to do with Bruni as the comment wasnt made against him . It was made against Beretta , and Hand wasnt even sure that it was beretta at the time . Last edited by The Badger; 18 Mar 2012 at 18:09. |

At first I was irked by Hand. Then I thought of all the times people have sabotaged me in monopoly by trading boardwalk to the person with park place just to cut me out. I get livid when people screw up my board games. I could only imagine how upset I would be if I was on an international stage. While the GT battles were good I've got to say how much I really miss Peugeot; absolutely no competition at the front of the field, and I generally root for Audi. And ESPN3 going slide show mode for the last 5 minutes was awful too.

In other news involving BMW's and contact that affected outcomes. Joerg Mueller in the 155 BMW reportedly hit out of the way by Jan Magnussen in the 03 Corvette for third place in the final 2 laps.

I found it much better than the usual predictable deluge that comes out of Hand's mouth thanking everyone under the sun. The whole reason TV people try to interview drivers straight away is to get raw emotional responses. You can't then start crying when you get something resembling that. |

Reopening a can of worms here, but... Anthony Davidson, Le Mans 2010, Sunday morning, interviewed by Speed and RLM after a quadruple stint of 110% driving and a crash with a Corvette? Think he was out of the car for about 10-15 min before the interviews, didn't change the tone. If you really want a calm interview from a racing driver after something controversial on track, you should probably leave that driver to calm down for about 24 hours.

^That's my point. Comments made in the heat of the moment need to be taken with a grain of salt and some people need to lighten up. Just words.

If Joey acts upon them later then, yes, I have no point, but as it is right now, they're only words. |

Don't know if it has been mentioned, but #51 has been excluded (even though they wouldn't have been classified) and given a €15000 fine.

Hand was angry in the post race interview after someone (doesn't matter who) tried to wreck him on the last lap. The fact is that Hand didn't do anything wrong and completed a clean pass in Sunset for what he thought was the race win. If I were in his shoes I might not be so polite. On the other hand, you have Bruni who went bat **** crazy on track. In my 20+ years of following motorsport I can't remember seeing a more unsportsmanlike move. I'm not big on penalties but I believe one is justified here. |

That didn't happen here, so your point doesn't hold water.
