Ann Bradshaw: Point of View
Ann Bradshaw has seen a lot of drama and arguments in her time in motorsport, but none of them prepared her for what she witnessed last Sunday at Indianapolis. She looks at the causes of the debacle, at how similar problems have been solved in the past, and what can be done to make sure nothing like this happens again
How many wrongs make a right? As the saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right, but if what happened at Indianapolis over the weekend is anything to go by, then dozens of wrongs don't make a right either. I still feel stunned and upset by what happened at the American race track, and it seems that this opinion is shared by all but a tiny minority of people.
I have worked in this sport for many years and can't ever remember feeling so ashamed at a spectacle of such stupidity. I listened with interest on Radio 5 Live at the comments of Maurice Hamilton and Ian Philips - two people I have known for a long time and respect - and if they could not reach a conclusion about the farce then I am sure those cheated spectators in Indianapolis could not.
