Unfortunetly as much as he should be suspended, fined and have his nuts dipped in thinners, I don't think they'll do anything other than tell him he's a naughty boy. As much as it pains me to say it, they already penalised him for the Ingall incident with a drive through, there's no rule that says he can't be a twerp and sit right on the leaders backside, even if he is a lap down, and again they gave him a drive through for the Bright incident. God knows how but they deemed the Bowe incident as a racing incident. The other point would be that as serious as it was, if the contact with Bright had happened at most other circuits, he would've ended up in a gravel trap and really, no-one would've cared. If they thought he was behaving in a unsportsman like manner they would've and should've blagged flagged the idiot. Playing the victim in all this will help his cause no end. Murphy on the other hand should be in front of the inquiry for bringing the sport in to disrepute with his behaviour at the press conference, lying about first not hearing the Kelly/Ambrose confrontation, then claiming to know word for word.
I wonder if the handbag would've been as diplomatic had he been turned around by Ingall, or punted dangerously into a wall by Lowndes, have a lapped car tailgate him or be forced wide into the first corner by the idiocy of someone who quite clearly wasn't going to make the turn. Hypocrite. All this means now is anyone who finds themselves in a situation to be able to help their team mates with these tatics, will.
