First, I dont want any misgivings/ misunderstandings, so I am posting this personally, not as any allied person of any organization and the only allegiances are to the Race and me being a fan of them.
I do not believe that any wrong was done at the the line, other than a miss timed staging. Schedules are the same year through-out, and you get up and are ready to bring it when the lights are right. Its an unthought reaction.
The scenario that threw the rag in the intake on this visit, was that the Gilbertson team was light and unpracticed at the the line without Nicky. This will foul even the best of gelled teams & it cost some extra seconds to get it all together.......remember the unthought reaction............now change or add a movement!
I believe the reaction at the camera was Rons genuine frustration. Nothing more. He did try to alleviate any blame several times in the interview and dispell any thought that he was even far fetchedly blaming anything as intentional......It was a timing thing that wasnt taken into account. Fuel leak in the line, yes, It is plausable and anyone that doubts a chief as educated as Ace, well my friend, you are mistaken! The driver offers a known item at issue that causes a situation, and it is somewhat compounded by a line leak verified by Ace.
Its just Racing...............Stuff Happens, lines break, keepers break, zip strips break, a hole gets clogged, tires slip....Its not choreographed, Its a gremlin in the machine. Its a "Gotcha"
I personally can feel the emotion at some of the things that happen, and I do know it. " BTDT" But I dont dwell on an incedent, thats not beneficial.
You are just seeing raw emotion, and if you dont want to see the true emotion and feel of the racer. Watch Reality TV, that'll get yer heart pounding!
Nuff said!
