Why wasn't Alonso black flagged?

It is perfectly legitimate for a dangerously damaged car to carry on for the rest of the lap, off the racing line, in order to pit. However Ferrari's decision to allow Alonso to carry on in order for him to be able to change for slick tyres was, in my opinion, reprehensible. This clearly put the welfare of other drivers in danger.
Why did no action take place by the stewards?

They had about 15 seconds to do so, probably less; add to that the FIA stewards being generally slow in doing anything.Why did no action take place by the stewards?
But anyway, the black flag is inappropriate; the meatball flag would have been the most logical flag to wave - and should have been, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, because we've never seen drivers drive around with bits falling off or on 3 wheels before now. People are so pampered these days, they now want a "meatball flag" arnt the restricted engines, crippled tyres and plastic overtaking measures enough for you and your ilk?
