ON THIS DAY: May 6

Delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

On this day in 2017 Mark Dutton called for the disqualification of three Nissan drivers over a blocking incident in qualifying at Barbagallo.

Shane van Gisbergen and the fourth Nissan driver of Michael Caruso came across the slow-moving Rick Kelly, Todd Kelly and Simona De Silvestro in the final corner and were forced to take evasive action.

Dutton labelled the actions of the three drivers as ‘dangerous’.

“Unfortunately three of the Nissan cars – they started with blocking their own car, it is not standard blocking (either), it was actually very, very dangerous,” said Dutton at the time.
