We might have a 4 car pile up right at the finish line.

F1: We are going green, we must be environmentally friendly.

Also F1: Let's do 1 lap behind a safety car where nobody can race and get a bunch of cars using extra fuel so that we can take a photo and get someone to wave a flag.

Merc: "Well Verstappen's car can blow up so we want a chance at the win"

So we are going to do all of this for a procession lap?

58 lap race and they've only done 57. No reason not to complete the full race, but yes, no overtaking so it's a procession to the line.

No. Sainz 5 second penalty. So no over taking but every car behind Sainz that finishes within 5 seconds of him, well benefit.

Yea but just end the race, add 5 seconds and that's that. What the hell is this kak?

 

[JerryMungo]

Well to be fair, there's still time to penalize another 5 drivers at least.

 

[Hamster]

These cars are going so slow I wonder how many places that 5s penalty is going to cost him

No reason to complete it, it isn't a race if nobody is allowed to overtake. You don't have to finish a race after a red flag, you can end it at any time. There is nothing to be gained here.

FIA wants the last word lol. They were trying to fix the Alonso buggerup.

 

[greg0205]

LOL!

Sainz in 12th.

Every reason to complete the race, and laps behind the pace car are still racing laps.

Double points finish for McLaren

Negative. No reason to, nothing gained, waste of time.

Negative. No reason to, nothing gained, waste of time.

Well, that's certainly one man's opinion.

Is the salt 'cos you're a Ferrari fan, or is it rather 'cos you're not a Lewis/Mercedes or Fernando/Aston fan?

You must be new here.

I'm not salty at all, I'm a Merc fan. Lovely result for us. Regardless of who I support, this is just a farcical display by the FIA.

Disagree.

No sectors completed after the restart and no way to update race positions... The count-back and reorder was absolutely, positively the correct thing to do. The next best thing would have been to let the race time out at the three hour mark, and the result would have been exactly the same.

Well played FIA and everyone involved in the decision.

I don't have the energy to write how I feel about the FIA and this race. What a crock of ****
