Hang on, didnt they used to be able to stop the race, wander about for ages, and then run a second half of the race on agrigate? And that didnt affect the 2 hour timelimit cos it was effectely 2 races and the times got all added up, which consuses everything! lol. Remember they used to do that.

Not really, if there was a Force India between say button and Glock, that car then has a massive impact on any restart and. If the race was stopped as the top 3 or 4 were scything through 5 or 6 back markers, it would be a nightmare with people having to move over and in the limited visibility, you'd be in the doo doo.

oh, looks like it's brightened up.

what, so who ever is behind the force india gets a free over take. And cars that are over a lap behind suddenly find themselves fighting for points again. Nope the rule can only be seen as gay.

so if 3rd place man has to make a pit stop after the sc. He will know have the 4th place right behind him and he will lose about 10places. where in fact before the SC he had over 1:20 to come in for a pit stop change his flat tyre or what ever and get out again still in 3rd. Stupid stupid rule.

I think its being scewed by the SC still being there. Its effectively 2 races, it just so happens the first one ends behind the safety car, and the 2nd one starts behind it, but I think they will do the agrigate 2 race thing, which doesnt have a 2 hour limit. But nobody seems to have twigged yet.

I see where you're coming from, but it would be too dangerous - trying to out-brake the back markers into turn 1, the back markers don't know who they are letting past and probably not even see what's behind you. Too dangerous imho if there is a load of spray.
