   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...
