Concerns on being critical of Gen3 triggered Shane van Gisbergen's bizarre media shutdown after winning the second Supercars race in Newcastle 🎤 Full story ⬇️
The Race 2 winner all but refused to engage with press in the post-race media conference, continually reeling off the same line –"Thanks to my team, our cars were awesome. All our talking was done on track. Thank you" – when fielding questions.
"I just said the truth about the cars I guess, tried to be honest. And it goes down the wrong way. So I'll focus on my driving." , who was vocal about parity concerns in the lead-up to Newcastle, sympathised with van Gisbergen and his sudden reluctance to speak up on matters. "They don't want us to say anything negative," he said."It's a completely different change for the sport. We drove the same cars for 10 years and we loved those cars and for us this is just different.
That robbed van Gisbergen's actions of critical context as the hosting team worked on the assumption that it was a response to van Gisbergen and Triple Eight being disqualified from Saturday's race.
