LOL I am so surprised that you think that.
It made for some great racing. If the Porsche would have known the tactics the Ferrari was going to use the Porsche could have adjusted and won. Ol' Bergi isn't gonna let it happen again.

It was great racing -
and I'm glad they allowed a little bumping - the Porsche could have taken him out twice but didn't. I'm guessing that won't happen again
Again, I think the first bump was racing - then 2nd at the end was for position and the win.

American Le Mans Series :: World Class
From Jorg Bergmeister:
Q: Have you viewed a video of Sebring's last lap? Is there anything there that changes your perception about what happened at the end?
A: I have watched the video. When you see the video, the footage is not as clear as what actually happened. He rode into Turn 17 with a lot of speed. He first bumped me on the right rear near the apex of the corner. I got an oversteer and had to lift off the throttle and then we were side by side. He was on the inside, I was on the outside. He bumped me again and pushed me toward the wall. I had to really back off the throttle - if I hadn't I would have gone into the wall. I thought that making a move like that at the end was very dangerous.

Porsche should have the win. The Ferrari driver used tactics normally seen in Gran Turismo or Forza, which is to just drive into the side of your opponent's car to take the win. Works in video games (and apparently in real life), but it is cheap, dirty, and should not have been allowed to go without a penalty.

The Porsche driver was clearly faster, waited to safely pass the Ferrari, and then got taken out by douche. Flame away, but it's the truth.
