It feels like a lifetime but at long last motorsport returns to our screen this weekend with the NASCAR Budweiser Shootout – live from Daytona Florida!
It’s a new season but unfortunately it may not be a fresh start as an old feud once again rears its head. It seems that incidents in Texas last November are still playing on champion Jimmie Johnson’s mind and he’s still smarting over a lack of apology from ‘bump-happy’ Sam Hornish Jnr.
Despite going on to secure the championship Johnson suffered a setback that could have cost him everything so is he perfectly justified in wanting an apology from Hornish Jnr? As a champion and therefore brand ambassador, should he be more willing to say ‘that’s behind us now’ especially given that the real culprit was David Reutimann? Could we expect to see the same in F1 which, when we least left it, had a similar argument ongoing between Trulli and Sutil?
When it comes to feuding drivers is it soo 2009 or soo ON? Let me know you thoughts!
