 Ryan Briscoe Do the Indy officials ever hold drivers/pit crews accountable for unsportsmanlike conduct? If they do, are they going fine/penalize Ryan Briscoe for "his nudge" that knocked Danica Patrick out of the race?

Ryan Briscoe joined the Clumsy Idiot Club of the day, started earlier by Kimi Räikkönen (ploughing into Adrian Sutil at Monaco GP). But there the similarity ends: Kimi Räikkönen hurried to apologize to Adrian Sutil immediately after the race; not only that, but his entire country, Finland, absolutely expected him to do nothing less (just a basic matter of honour, and manners, for an honourable man). In contrast, Ryan Briscoe tried to weasel out of his extremely aggressive, idiotic, bonehead manoeuvre - when he pulled out of his pit and just crossed over the up-to-speed-lane, directly into the at-speed-lane (hitting Danica who was already at speed). In the absence of the required HUGE! APOLOGY, from the "Penske Crash Test Dummy" to Danica, I must say that [500fan737] at the Indy-site is right: "Ryan Briscoe & Team Penske now owe Danica at least the 7th place purse amount; they'd be lucky to get off that easy as she could have moved up quite a bit". So, pay up! Danica did what anybody with any kind of enthusiasm about racing and fair play would do - in wanting to speak her mind to this zero-class buffoon; and IRL was dumb in preventing it (AND failing to sensor Ryan Briscoe for his moron manoeuvre). Ryan Briscoe's after-race remarks would be laughable, if they weren't so waaaaay embarrassing (to him and the Penske outfit).
