The wrong kind of bafflement and surprise in UK motorsport

You can always rely on national motorsport to be unpredictable but some occurrences in recent weeks have been bewildering - and not in a good way, says STEPHEN LICKORISH

There can be no doubting that every now and again some very baffling things happen in national motorsport. Shocks and surprises are what make it such a fascinating strand of motorsport, but then there are certain occurrences that just leave you shaking your head.

Earlier this year we had British Formula 4 driver Roman Bilinski failing to be banned, despite reaching the cut-off of 12 licence penalty points (for the second year in a row), because some of these were accrued at the same event. And in the past couple of weeks there have been some more bewildering goings on.
