Stupid rule ruining the race. Because someone else has some bad luck everyone else lucks-in and gets to change tyres on the grid when otherwise they would have to take the time penalty of driving through the pits.
It makes sense in a big shunt involving lots of cars, it means we can actually have a race. Rather than 15cars all coming in for extensive 10minute + repairs.
But in this scenario the ability to change tyres when otherwise you would need to pit is unbalanced. Sure it isn't categorically unfair as they are all driving to the same rules, but you can't argue that it hasn't ruined this race.
But you can't cover all scenarios. Red flags aren't very often, even then most ofthetime it's weather related.
It's the nature of the sport, is it a. Darn shame yes. But then at other races the rules will benefit the drivers you support and there won't be any moaning.
