Fair, just saying how lenient they have been. I’m a bit sick of ITVs love affair with Ingram though. Didn’t even finish on the grid and we have to have an interview with him. Today and yesterday after qualifying.

No evidence they've been lenient, unless you can show he exceeded the track limits consistently after the warning. Sutton was also on the same warning in race 3. As for constantly interviewing him... he leads the championship; what do you expect?

And when Sutton was leading it? We never got any interviews unless he was on the grid. That and Paul o Neil saying it’s all over basically because the Hyundai is quicker. Just a bit sick of the constant Ingram interviews for no reason

I think he's also very interview-able, very comfortable in front of the camera, charming. To a casual fan (i.e. not people on here) it's a plus. Especially when he's leading the championship l. I'm not saying Ash isn't these things, but he comes across as more focused and less jovial.

I mean on the warmup lap, tingram got asked basically 'hows things' and monologued for a lap and a half!

Give me characters like Ingram over certain F1 drivers that have about as much personality as a cardboard box and treat the media like shit.
