Picked up a web interview with Greg Murphy slanging both Fred Gibson and Craig Lowndes...saying that Gibson stabbed him in the back and Lowndes believed he was greater than the rest of the Oz supercar drivers. He blames Lowndes directly for the situation he is now in.
Well I can tell you Greg, Craig had every right to join the invitation extended to him by Ford...like you he is trying to look after his future. To blame him for being signed over you in 1998 & now 2001 by both Holden & Ford is a reflection of the far superior talent he has over you...both on and off the track. We have not heard one adverse comment from him over his treatment and partings with HRT's Cretton & Grech. You had a fair crack at it in 1997 and failed...have a look in the mirror and you will see the person who ids reponsible for your current situation. |

I believe Greg has every right to be dirty at Gibson- Murphy has received other offers throughout the off season with other teams, but knocked them back because he had a contract with K-Mart racing for this season. Then when Fred steps in, his contract is suddenly null and void, and Greg is left out. I'd be pretty peaved if I were in his possition...
Also, WRT 1997, Greg had a dud of a car...didn't fail on him several times on the warm up lap...I believe had been given a reliable car, he would have done much better, also don't forget his Phillip Island shunt and a half.. |
