There were penalties that should have been called that weren't, race restarts that should have happened but didn't, and cars that could not get into gear that should have either been retired or replaced. From a purely objective point of view the real winners of this event were Finland.

What's fucked up is Eurosport commentators. I was at the race (as a journalist) and there was a detailed programme who's racing who's when. It was wery well organised ...
As for judges: there were a lot more touches of the barriers than the judges called (with all the driver, not just french). There were no restarts (it was clearly stated that there would be no restarts in any case, but the eurosport goys obviously did not read infos), and you cannot replace car if there are no replacement cars. It's just bad luck, which is part of racing.
As for Finland being the real winner: why: Kovalainen was astoundingly good, but Gronholm had a very bad day. YOu could argue that Kovalainen would win the decisive race if his car was OK, but if (by chance) the event was planned so there would be 3 races of Loeb/Gronholm and only 2 of Alesi/Kovalainen, France would win anyway. So it's a question of luck. Who dirves wihich car was determined before the racing begun and it could also be Alesi in broken down ferrari.
The one and only real star of the whole event was Kovalainen and that was obvious ...
