CART recently announced that crewmembers won't be allowed in victory circle for the celebrations. Supposedly it is too much of a hassle for the press (hey, isn't that the point?). I know this has angered many crew members, and rightly so. To put in all those hard hours, and not be able to share the thrill of victory? That's a true shame.
Personally, I think this new regulation takes the fun out of things....watching Max go up to podium at Homestead was boring. No one was there giving him a high-five or a hug during the post-race interview.
I hope CART will be persuaded to change this rule in the near future...as someone recently pointed out, CART's victory lane celebrations should look like NASCAR, not F1.
