The British Touring Car Championship qualifying session at Croft was disrupted by five red flags, with three coming after drivers hit Recticel barriers placed at certain corners. The paddock - with expert analysis from Rob Austin - reacts

There were five red flag stoppages - with the eventual pole-winner and the joint-championship leader among those to cause the interruptions.

Matt James headed out to the paddock to understand what had happened from the point of view of those involved.
