Agreed, I actually found the Clearways stuff to be quite ballsy overtaking.
Besides it's not like he invented that move or was the only one using it. The guys Neal passed lost one place, Gio tried it a couple of times and pushed the car he was passing so wide they both lost several places.
I've found Neal to be driving quite maturely this year, and the championship position reflects this.
Case in point again was at Brands when he found himself behind Plato and decided to stick where he was rather than risk an accident with ol' big-head. I don't normally support drivers settling for what they have over going for an overtake but, it was Neal and Plato, any move would've ended in an accident, Plato would've assured it, he'd rather crash than lett Matt over take him, so for Matt to see this coming and pressure Plato but not risk anything was quite an intellegent approach imo.
He's my tip for champion even though ITV are on the Giovanardi bandwagon at the moment.
Another great day's racing though, but we say that every meeting don't we?
I just wish with all the will they/won't they in the run up to the race didn't happen so my Dad didn't book a day off meaning I couldn't be there!
Oh well, I get the F3/GT meeting or possibly Formula 2 to make up instead.....yayy?
