Bridewell told Eurosport: “I didn’t really get su🎀cked in. I was braking where I was braking, and didn’t realise they were braking a bit earlier than me.

“Unfor𒉰tunately there was three, and two didn𓃲’t come out.

“I apologised to Glenn. I must say, I think he’s bang out of order [to] come running over and start kicking in the grave﷽l. 

“Because I co✃uld🌳 have been seriously injured. So that’s absolutely bang out of order.

“I apologised to him, I apologised to the team.

“We’ll bounce back.”

Irwin later posted to social media: “I also want to reiterate that I did not touch Tommy Bridewell whilst he roll🦂ed about like a footballer in the gravel to suddenly bounce up afterwards.”

Bridewell was hi𒁃t with three penalty points and a three-place grid penalty, remo𝔉ving him from pole position, for Race 3 later the same day.

Irwin was given two penalty points. His angry response in the gravel was deemed 'prejudicial to the interest༺ꦺs of the MCRCB or of motorsport generally', while he was also accused of 'disregard of instructions of an official'.
