Man-flu Mostert tops Supercars field
Under-the-weather Supercars ace Chaz Mostert has turned in a superb reaction to his Adelaide 500 stuff-up by putting his Ford Mustang on top of the timing charts at the Australian Grand Prix.
Mostert was almost half a second faster than the field in a sharp showing at the Albert Park street circuit, finishing the meet's first practice session on Thursday with a 1:55.5743 lap.
The Tickford Racing ace t-boned Rick Kelly in pit lane a fortnight ago to kill the Nissan man's hopes of a decent points haul on the opening weekend of the campaign.
Mostert apologised and accepted blame for the bungle, one of a number of errors that befell car No.55 over the weekend.
