That's how it was whincup's fault and by his action he knew it as well.

Interpretation of the rules. A lot of passing happened on that corner without incident and a few touches as well but the cars stayed on the track. When contact is made like that, you redress. Whincup was trying to redress when Tander got into the back of him, Whincup had nowhere to go. McLaughlin then came back onto the track and took Tander out. I think Tander has some blame in that incident as well.

Looking at the replay, Whincup was almost half a car length past McLaughlin when McLaughlin cut back in and hit him.

Look at the last lap when Van Gisbergen tried to get up the inside of Davison on Forest Elbow. Almost pushed him off there as he was nudging the back corner.

Reading about it, if a penalty needed to be given, it should have been 10 championship points, not 15 seconds.

3 years in a row Whincup has shown his arrogance.
About time he gets what he deserves.

I disagree , look at the replay from front on, Whincup locks up the rear passenger side wheel and slides into McLaughlin , Tander is off on the race line, Whincup got it wrong, locks up and hits McLaughlin forcing him off. That was what caused the chain reaction , whincup knew it and tried to make amends.
Every other pass that happened that day no one tried to redress , they waited for the stewards to say so then redressed- ie Kelly when he locked up on the start straight .


Whincup knew straight away he stuffed up , otherwise he would have powered on .


He got what he deserved , some would say he got off lightly.

Regardless of how McLaughlin ended up off the track, once you are off you dont have right of way, so rather than back off the pace and come back on the track 2 positions down, he ended coming back on the track with less control and ended up into Tander.

That split second choice of being a hot head and less professional cost him a car, a race and no doubt lost some good will with Tander.

McLaughlin knew this after the fact and apologised to Tander/team.
You wont see Whincup walking down to another team with an apology.

and the total champions of the day!!:

Will Davison and Jonathan Webb, the win couldnt have gone to a better team!!

Too Right young fella x2:thumbsup:

When you redress you do not do it when it is safe to do so , if zWingcup had waited unto
Ill it was safe Tander would not have been into the back of him& could have stayed behind Wingcup & there would have been a good chance the Volvo would not have hit Tander.
Wingcup was sliding when he went into the side of the Volvo so was not in controĺ.

Was just reading on Fox Sports Whincup was instructed to not pass the Volvo & just keep following but he chose to not follow Redbull orders again. He was also instructed to redress as soon as he knocked the Volvo off the track. .
There was a in car video with all the Redbull & Whincup conversation .

Actually Whincup did visit the other garages. I don't know what He said, or whether it was accepted,...but He did go......whilst I admire JW & think He's an absolutely brilliant driver, I was barracking for Car 2 / Garth Tander,.....who had an excellent chance of a win, before the drama.
Pickles.

I don't know, the video is a bit inconclusive, but it looks like Whincup did slide the rear out coming into the corner but he didn't actually slide into McLaughlin, McLaughlin turned into him. The car wasn't sliding when he got hit. I still believe the move was fair and McLaughlin actually hit Whincup.
