but yeah i agree restarts should safer.. but the problem is FIA made the call for taking in SC to the pits too late.. normally most of the restarts was ok because SC was turning the lights off somewhere at the middle of the lap and engineers could find time to inform drivers and they get in a tighter pack.. but as i ve said SC turned the lights off at the final corner.. ouch..
Lewis almost all the time floors it right before the last corner but Bottas' will to eat the straight a bit during restart + last second SC calling in + gaps in the pack f'ed the whole thing it seems.. i dont know but i guess it ll be better if they put a rule like leader has to pick up the pace before the last corner or something.. cause Bottas' call was late as well since he could be overtaken under the rules right after the start finish line anyway.. |
Yeah Grosjean is a bit of a loose cannon at close quarters and he wants to frighten others with elbows out to put them off to take him but all in all he wouldn't ram anyone on purpose with penalties/fines present.
All in all it was a fate filled mix of incidents and should have been read by organisers of the potential of such a thing happening.
That is a TIGHT track like Brands Hatch only longer and FIA stopped GP's at BH after '86.
