Toto - You know the race direction's call will be under critics, but this time they followed the rules. Maybe they could have done it a lap earlier or let George through, but they followed the rules and they accepted the race ends behind the safety car.

Worst GP so far this year for me .
Why can’t that just red flag it and have a three lap sprint from the grid .

Ricciardo's engine just completely shut off in the middle of Lesmo 1.
Major difference between match fixing and a mistake.

Latifi is completely wasting that seat. As someone said earlier in one post here, he's almost hiding how much of a jump in performance Williams have made with the car.

Surely he must be embarrassed to actually be on the grid now. He must be the butt of all jokes.
I've defended Latifi in previous seasons. He's not been amazing, but he's been a safe lower midfielder. Nothing wrong with that in a backmarker team. But this season? Awful in the first part, dismal from there. Even so, I don't think it's Latifi making De Vries look good today. He matched Albon's best finish of the season in a car he got just one practice session in before quali. Amazing work.
(That said: he's been summoned by the Stewards, so fingers crossed).

Yeah, De Vries and Zhou to being given a talking to for erratic driving?
I hope nothing comes of it.
Edit: He comes across very good in this interview with Sky. Would be good to see him alongside Albon next year.

The way I see it, you wouldn't expect that if it was lap 10 in that instance, so you're just bending things to make a 'fun finish', which worked out great last time they did that...
**EDIT**
Exactly.
But the result would have been different because everyone (ie Mercedes’) would have known that was the protocol.
I think it would suck because it just means you’ve wasted an hour watching a race that’ll have next to no bearing on the result once everyone pits for softs and a 3 lap sprint. It’d be more interesting if it has to be red flagged but you can’t change tyres? Maybe? Everyone has to see out their strategy?
Stewards apologise to Vips after error in feature race. He was given a 10s stop-and-go when they meant to give him a 10s penalty. It'd be nice if the Stewards admitted error more often.
De Vries only give a reprimand in a decision that basically reads "he was only a stand-in, bless 'im".
As they should have done in the shambles of last season
