Kittleson fuming after woeful run of form continues

Dean Kittleson lashed out at his Southern Cross Racing team for electing to move to slick tyres during the second stop in the Japanese Grand Prix. During the wet race, radio messages from the Brit to his engineer clearly stated that the British driver wished to remain on the wet tyres for the remainder of the race, as it looked as though the rain wasn't going to let up any time soon - contrary to the actions taken by the Southern Cross Racing team, as they switched to the slick tyres. Having been in the points before the 2nd pit stops, Kittleson eventually finished 15th.

"It's an absolute joke. I expressly told my engineer that the track wasn't ready for dry tyres, and it seems the team elected to rely on the weather reports ahead of my own opinion of the track condition. The team have cost me a solid points finish today."

Upon being asked about his title chances, Kittleson was adamant: "There is no hope of the title this season. I don't know how, but the car has gone backwards since last year and blunders like this one today aren't helping the cause."

The S5 Rookie of the year in the previous season was also non-commital about his future at Southern Cross Racing, and even claimed favouritism within the ranks: "I have to talk the team about the decision making process here - they gave Ross [Cartwright] wet tyres at first, but decided to swap me to slicks. I'm honestly not sure whether they or not they were sabotaging my race to ensure Ross finishes above me this year. Utter, utter joke."

It is thought that Kittleson is contemplating a move away from Southern Cross Racing at the end of the season - with Martini Paddock Racing, who were rumoured to have offered Kittleson a contract for S6, being potential suitors for the British youngster.
