Seems a fairly effective way of balancing the Chevrolet dominance, pity the other FWD cars get screwed over at the same time.

Race organisers were very very lucky that Muller didn't puncture 5 seconds earlier or he would have been ploughing into Macdowell's and Menu's abandoned cars.

Not sure I'm happy about Huff's blocking either, would have words with him if I was the stewards, blocking other drivers when you know your car was in a dangerous condition would be a no-no.

Yup. He's lucky Coronel didn't put him in the wall with that block.

Huff's car was in a dangerous condition? That's a little OTT don't you think? Huff did what any other driver in that position at that stage of the race would have done.

To be fair too, when did the tire actually go? Don't think he had that much of a choice to get out of the way.

Pretty sure he knew it was gone before the corner. Don't think i'd penalize anyone - its the final corner of the race, even if coronel had pushed him off i'd say that's fair enough

you guys are way too quick to penalize.

fuck it, throw a block on him, who cares if the cars crippled. if you can make it work and still win, more power to ya.

No. Eurosport 1 is Tennis. Eurosport 2 is Moto GP.

WTCC races are after the Tennis.

No-one around? I has stream!

Muller already used 2 wheels off the track to nudge someone out the way, dominance isn't enough for the Chevys, they have to Bully too! :yuk:

Can't believe that this was already the last WTCC race in Europe this year.
