There was great frustration over the F1 Italian Grand Prix ending under safety car conditions on Sunday. But as NobleF1 explains, unlike in Abu Dhabi, there can be no doubt that the FIA followed the rules to the letter ⬇️
The best way to achieve this safely was to ensure that there was a big enough gap in the traffic to give the crane suitable clear time – so it meant trying to hold back the train to produce this buffer.
The next stage is that once the leader is formed up behind the safety car, then the clerk of the course has the option to let lapped cars overtake. In Abu Dhabi, it was the selective choice of picking out a few lapped cars that caused controversy – as it left Verstappen with a buffer behind him from the third-placed car.
The decision was taken to wait. And the 'following lap' demand meant that the release could not be given on lap 52, as there could be no restart before the end of lap 53, which was the chequered flag.
