Like i said before, i don't really care about the win or lose issue. I care more about the fact that someone could have been seriously hurt, and nothing was done about it.
During the driver's meeting on Thursday, Paul George, the Head Ref, explained to teams that if this happened and presented a safety issue that the offending team would be warned, then disabled if it happened again, then possibly DQ'd. Never did he say a penalty would be issued for this offense, if he had then perhaps it would be acceptable to ask why one was not given. But he did not, so that is why one was not given.
