Kiwi driver Shane van Gisbergen has responded to teammate Maro Engel's comments after a disastrous Bathurst 12 hour race.
Engel hit out at van Gisbergen after the reigning Supercar champion crashed their team car into a wall with only 20 minutes of the race remaining.
Engel claimed van Gisbergen made a lot of mistakes and was too aggressive.
Van Gisbergen says Engel's comments came as a surprise to him and he apologised to him.
The 27-year-old Red Bull Holden Racing Team driver's focus has now switched to defending his Supercar title with the opening race in Adelaide next month.
