I didn't see it - was in the pits in the aftermath - I asked two people what happened - Don Kenyon and a friend of mine who was working on a car - and instead of going by and congratulating all the winners as I planned to do I walked straight to my car and went home and was disgusted. My part of this conversation has never been about the particulars of the situation - but merely to point out the following

a) Officials have to take action on these matters
b) Good officials use judgement in determining the respective punishments and that doesn't require uniformity
c) There are generally reasons differential punishments are handed out. In principle it means that they have determined different levels of guilt, participation, or other important contextual factors are emphasized. And I would add
d) In all cases someone is going to view this as unfair
