I found it quite stimulating, as it happens. Granted, it was not as exciting as last year's, but then there was more at stake last year. Flyboy10 and Flyboy8 both watched it the whole way through, which is a first for them.
Sutil's penalty was fair, I don't think he did anything maliciously, just poor judgement.
As far as the "confusing" actions taken, involving Alonso and Raikonnen; with those two names mentioned, I am not surprised at all.
