Yes it is – so, they crashed because Senna didn't give room, simple as that.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

It was only uncontrolled because massa was hit on the right and bumped into the wall.

If Vettel wins this it will be one of the most invisible and anonymous wins I have ever seen.

This isn't really racing as much as it's attrition.

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

EVERY race has a minimum required distance or maximum time limit. Which ever is acheived first 2hours or 200miles.

61 laps around here takes it to just over 200miles, But as its so slow around this place, it comes near the 2 hour limit. Throw in a couple of safety cars, and its 2 hours which come first.

200 miles around Monza at such high average speeds only takes 80 minutes to complete.

So basically, 2 hours or 200miles is a race limit. chequered flag comes out after either of these are reached.

Nop. It is because of the SC, drivers cant spend more than a certain time racing due to medicals regulations.

All races should end in 2 hours excluding any red flags. 4 hrs for total event counts in the red flags. Only Singapore runs close to the time limit
