I was so pissed off when the red flag was thrown. It seems that most of the field don't have the 
sense to use the supplied full wet tyres when it's fully wet! So, the race director decides it's 
too dangerous and a guy who stayed out, partly causing this danger, on 30 lap old intermediate 
tyres in a downpour is gifted a win?

I don't know about post-race penalties either and don't really care. I'm going to watch the MotoGP 
now, at least (hopefully) it won't leave me with a sour taste...
