A fair trial...

A fair trial …

Sir,

1 know that the camera can always lie even the TV camera but 1 have to say that I fully condone the FIA’s decision to punish Eddie Irvine after the spectacular accident which marred what for me, scrappy TV direction apart, was an absorbing Brazilian Grand Prix. While I felt he did little wrong to Senna at Suzuka last year (though his move on Warwick was unfair), 1 thought his actions at Interlagos were clumsy in the extreme. I accept that the average man or woman in the street me included hasn’t the faintest idea of what life is like at the best part of 200 mph in a Formula One car, but surely Irvine and his like are where they

are because they are supposed to be able to master such situations? Ken O’Connor, Bourne End,
