the car must have been running at some time today. It will be intersting to find out what the cause is. May be something very simple and easily fixed.

They are interviewing everyone. Except Robby. How about they get a reporter in Robbys camp and find out what is going on. You would think this is news worthy. Yet they talk about D____a and how the 10 car needs to be in the top 35 when she gets back in the car.

If you're part of a small relatively under-staffed (amount wise not talent wise) team trying to work as hard as you can to get one of the hardest to fix problems in all of motorsports fixed in the shortest amount of time possible... Would you really want to stop working to give an interview?

Did not say get an interview. Get information and report it to the public. They can observe the situation and report it.

And they did which is how it was reported on TV that it was an electrical problem. It's not like the "garage" area of Bristol is quite enough that a reporter can just eavesdrop.
