It was quite obvious with the nbr of laps left there was a slim chance of a restart. Full safety with a car that needed to be recovered? A no brainer, really. There was a lot more points on the table if a bit of luck had gone the team's way. Still 6 points, onto Singapore.

Should have been red flagged. Prob scared after Abu Dhabi last year. Could have been a grandstand finish.

... they should be red flagging when somethings moving on track
Would have been disastrous for us with lando‘s launch system still not working , we would have lost many more places and might not have scored points
nothing related to Lando.. I just think generally if there is a tractor or something moving they should red flag

If it was red flagged then everyone could change tyres before the restart. was worth the risk to stay out.

I feel a little annoyed right now. Max Verstappen is a fantastic driver but also FIA's Golden Boy. He is not allowed to lose. Really? Finishing behind an SC with two lapped cars between? Shouldn't Leclerc have a chance at least? They should have Red Flagged the race and restarted it with a standing start for fairness.

The SC screwed Lando also as we did not expect they would decide to finish behind the SC.

Please stop with such nonsense. How Fia helped Max? He breezed past everyone with ease trough the race.

Fia needs to check their equipment and procedures though.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

I will say what I feel like. Ferrari was screwed here. Sure Max did a fantastic job today but Leclerc was denied a chance at the end.

I care not. If some of you here in this forum are such special snowflakes and get triggered by a different opinion feel free.

I'm not certain, but I think PhilipM had mentioned updates planned for Singapore a while back, maybe it's my imagination.
