Close, hard racing isn't always clean - even Zanardi is a good example of that.

The Mexico race is a perfect example of why I prefer to watch Champ Cars over F1. Good racing all the way down the field and a great result.

True enough. But under the current rules PT's move was well outside of the regs and thus deserved to be penalized. There really isn't any grey area in this case, there's no getting around it. Personally I would have been dissapointed with the marshalling if PT wasn't penalized and I am a PT supporter.

Oh, good, then it wasn't just me wondering WTF happened in the TSN broadcast? I got more out of the "race recap" 30 seconds than I did out of the first half of the race. We went for commercial and when we got back something like 15 laps had gone by, we missed Bremer's shunt and the order was all screwy.

Y'know, I don't think complaining to TSN ever does any good. I wonder if complaining to Champ Car will do anything -- seems dumb to sell themselves short in a country that obviously likes the series. Yeah, they buy the time, but they could buy it on Speed just as easily as on TSN. (For non-Canadians, I should mention that Speed is second-tier cable here, so most people have it.)
