In my opinion, #7 should have won
#7 had 10 sec longer fuel stop (twice as much fuel as #8)
#7 had no damage to their front but changed the front anyway to over take #8...
#8 did have front damage yet decided to still go without changing front nose
#8 was 5sec slower every lap which lead #7 to slow down behind #8 for a while...
in the end, Kamui got fed up with the team and didn't show up in the podium...

Seems silly to not show up to the podium because you finished 2nd. Why didn't Conway protest the podium when he was the one driving? Surely he was more fed up than Kobayashi.
Last year the cars were held in their positions at the end of the race too. They even ran/finished the same order as this year
Maybe Kobayashi didn't get/read the memo on the agreement to hold position at the last stop before the race.
