Laguna madness

As one might imagine, this one's been debated to death in many circles. My take:

Pit-out pass: Should have resulted in a stop-and-go penalty, and this would all be avoided. It has been noted that stewarding has been very lax in this series for a long time.

Bump out of T2 (T1 is the kink over the front-straight hill crest)... Racing incident.

Last turn bump: I don't buy the early braking argument. The Vette was charging in very hard, the Porsche may have been a little careful, being the last turn, likely with worn tires... the responsibility for passing safely still rests with the following car.

that said... a 'bump pass' is illegal and could be successfully protested. keeping that in mind...

The run to the wall: WAY, WAY, WAY out of line. Bergmeister may not have meant to put Magnussen's Vette in the wall, but intentions and outcomes are worlds apart.

I think the penalty to Magnussen is appropriate, but too easy on Bergmeister, which is not to say their actions didn't make for an incredible clip

Next year, I think I'll skip the return of F1 to Montreal and get ALMS tix instead
