I'm sorry, but if you want to see cars pushed out the way then we are no longer racing. It's the same as a professional foul in rugby or football where a player's progress is deliberately impeded.
Yes. I do. He didn't push him onto the grass, it was a small tap into the back bumper to nudge him wide. Good luck finding any touring car driver who DOESN'T do that. He didn't spin him out, he didn't push him into the gravel, they both continued, so I didn't see a problem with it.

As I said earlier - no doubt it'd be the case that if drivers were penalised for that type of thing, people would start complaining about how there was hardly any overtaking or action in BTCC anymore. Look at WTCC and DTM - a lot of people complain they're boring because they don't have as much action as BTCC.
