Today, responding to a suggestion from Eurosport journalist Stéphane Vrignaud that the public felt the penalties handed out in Australia were too severe, Quesnel said: "The public is right. As for us, we are still in shock. An administrative error has been punished by a sporting penalty and I do not understand why."
What public? I've gotten completely opposite picture from the case...Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

What a bunch of crybabies! They should have been disqualified! Why would the WRC even put this garbage on its website?

Now it's obvious that there was no cheating going on and I'm sure all the people who were on here preaching about cheating etc etc will come back say how wrong they were and so on and so forth?
the part itself had already been homologated but that the team never noticed that a picture of the part used on the cars in Australia was missing from the official papers.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I must admit from the story in gpweek.com it does seem an embarassing error, and not an attempt at cheating. However, based on that I think the penalty was about right, afterall Ford had 5 mins with those "thin" windows, and that was a deliberate attempt at gaining a weight advantage.
