That’s what happened to Ricciardo and Piastri, I thought they were just slow because of damage! Given that lapped cars are generally allowed to unlap themselves before a safety car restart, why wasn’t this allowed for a red flag standing restart?
Because it wasn’t a safety car restart. Inconsistent rule book. Obviously the rules for safety car restart and red flag restart should be the same, but currently they aren’t.
