Very unfortunate whether it was the right call or not. You're trying desperately to attract new fans and not lose old ones due to constant parade races and Mercedes domination, then you finally get one shaping up to be within a second finish, possible first wheel to wheel in years and then...….that.
You could hear the deflation in the announcers and the crowd. The announcers especially (who live to call those close races) sounded like their dog died. Again, I won't comment on the penalty as I don't have the knowledge to offer an opinion, but just as a new fan all I can say is what a shame.
