“Our team ethos is to race hard and fair every time we hit the track, and our full focus is on today’s race in Newcastle.” “The team has sought permission from the Supercars head of motorsport prior to race 1 of the Supercars championship, which was granted, and we acted upon this permission,” Red Bull Ampol said in an Instagram post. With cooling boxes moved within the cockpit, Feeney and defending series champion van Gisbergen made the shootout and Tim Slade is once again in the top five. “The Head of Motorsport’s clear determination is that the systems in issue do not comply with the rules,” the decision read. Red Bull Ampol said they would appeal the findings, adamant they were in the right. They upheld the protests, finding the cars were in breach of rule C16.2.1.1, with the driver cooling systems not correctly placed within the car cockpit.

He gave approval and we went racing. “We did everything we could to move it over to the other side which meant we only had a few hours’ sleep.” “It was never a competent call on ensuring that our drivers were not going to be in the state they were last night.” “To throw two cars out of the results is completely, completely out of line.” “If anything it’s a disadvantage to the performance of the car not an advantage.

'He's better than that': SVG blasted for post-race disrespect after controversial win.

You never heard an Allan Moffat or Russell Ingall not answer a question in a press conference. “He has a duty. As one of the highest-paid, the absolute bloke who has been the benchmark operator. It’s a bit disappointing to hear that sort of behaviour from Shane. “You can have a villain … “They might not have been as liked as Peter Brock who was the golden child of this stuff, but at any point there is a duty.” “Although you might not want to make any more comment, you actually have a duty as a custodian of the sport to say what you need to say about the result and what’s gone on today. “If you’re a media person from anywhere in this country and you want a comment about Supercar racing, the first person you ask is Shane van Gisbergen. He is extraordinary, maybe one of the best drivers ever – I call him Jim Richards-like but you do off the track have a duty and that’s not right. “There is something about being the champion driver and the ambassador for the sport. It’s not the first time this weekend van Gisbergen opted out of answering a simple question, after telling a journalist “nah I’ll pass” on Saturday. “You’ve got to have a little bit of respect for the other people within the industry as well and how they’re going about their job.

'Shuffled out of the way!' SVG returns serve as tempers tipped to 'erupt' once more.

And he just couldn’t get back in the two top to challenge. Mostert was able to pick up a second per lap on van Gisbergen during the run. Pit lane works ensured Waters was able to return to the race on the lead lap, but out of contention. By the time Red Bull opted to bring van Gisbergen in, Mostert got through in front but the Kiwi wouldn’t be denied. Shane van Gisbergen was left frustrated by rival Jack Le Brocq as he attempted to close the gap to Mostert. “He shuffled Chaz Mostert out of the way.” The contact is just another layer of drama to the Newcastle 500 weekend. Failing to redress, Mostert then “returned serve” with contact on van Gisbergen but couldn’t hold off the raging Kiwi who claimed victory in a time-shortened race due to lap one crash drama. “Will there be more to the story? “A little bit of dodgem stuff there,” commentator Mark Skaife said of the van Gisbergen contact. Shane van Gisbergen has claimed another controversial Supercars victory, but his move to “shuffle” rival Chaz Mostert aside became the big talking point of the race.

With the traffic cleared van Gisbergen was able to properly use his tyre advantage, the gap down to within a second with five minutes left. Reynolds was the next to stop on lap 68, a slow stop due a wheel issue and some set-up changes dropping him to fourth behind Golding. A lap later Waters pushed slightly too hard into Turn 9 in pursuit of Mostert, clipping the inside wall and bending a steering arm. By lap 46 van Gisbergen would also get past Feeney, although at that point he was still 17s behind the leaders. Fraser looked to turn across the front of Jones as they pulled away from the grid, which resulted in the Tickford rookie being fired head first into pitwall.
