Wouldn't it make sense to let Piastri (and anyone, really) to let the drivers who have a penalty serve it right after the red is lifted?
 
I hope they will change the rule about changing tires under red flag conditions.

The complaints rightfully crop up every time this happens.
The problem is if a crash happens and cars behind have to drive through debris, you can't then send cars back out for a restart with tyres full of carbon shards.

WoW! This F1 race weekend is legendary with the baffling incidents....

Seeing the counts of spins alone from practice through the race would be eye opening.

If you change tires, you go to the back of the grid.

Or at a minimum, absolutely no changes to the car. It can be turned off and turned back on, that's it.

36 laps to go and I am so exhausted already. what a weekend mess.

I agree.
Your car resumes the race the way it was when race was red flagged.
Issue is if you have damage or a flat, due to it being a safety issue, you start at back of grid.

Nah because then someone else's crash becomes your problem.

There isn't a sensible solution that works for all eventualities other than allowing tyre changes.

Or red flags reset positions back to when conditions started, not just when red fag falls. There are fair solutions. Right now it's nonsensically rewarding those often the furthest back and punishing those with the most to lose.

And here we go... I'm ready for a typhoon at this point

If your options are to go to the back of the grid or risk crashing from a debris-induced puncture on the restart when the cars are bunched up around you, just because the crash happened to be between you and the pitlane, that's just as unfair as the current situation but with added danger when no-one wants to change tyres to avoid losing trwck position.

Alpine and Verstappen are where they are on the restart through a strategy play that happened to work out and no-one has tyres with carbon in them, which from a safety point of view is better.

And this is from someone who doesn't like that Verstappen's going to win today.
 
Hopefully Ocon makes that the widest Alpine ever made.
Maybe he won't need it :
