Speaking of jump starts I was very disappointed in Mark Skaiffe's comments in the post race 1 interview. He stated that the drive through for the jump start was ludicrous because he had already been penalised by stuffing up his start and losing a dozen or so places. I'm sorry Mr Skaiffe but the 2 incidents are unrelated. If you stuff the start you penalise yourself, if you jump the start you are penalised by the IPO. If you jump the start and also stuff the start up, you cop both penaties.
For the record, I don't believe that he did jump the start, but that should be debated with the IPO. To suggest that the penalty was invalid because of the time he lost due to his lousy start I found amateurish in the extreme, and not worthy of a driver with his experience.
