I can't figure out why he's shaking his fist there. Was there contact that I don't see? Who know what the commentators are saying on replay?

I think the blue car gave the white one a little tap under braking, which made the white car blow the chicane. Or the white car driver wanted to make it seem that way.

Not conclusive. Heger (white car) was too fast going into the chicane which made him miss the second corner. Whether Alzen (blue car) taped him a little bit between the corners is not clear. The replay alsonshows that. The commentator states that there seems to be a little dent in Alzen's car that was not there before.

So what's the reasoning behind not penalizing these drivers? It's great that they were able to put on a good show and they both "cheated" about the same amount to neutralize any real advantage, but letting them run wild like that takes away from the race's integrity in my mind. Why have a chicane at all if you can just cut time every lap cutting it?
