I believe they did introduce a rule that you can't go alongside during the safety car period after around the mess in 2021.

I mean, race control have a habit of making late SC/VSC calls. I wouldn’t jump so hard on the conspiracies just yet.

No conspiracy here, just puzzled why they waited so long.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood you then, that’s just what I thought you were implying with your post. Don’t get me wrong, I think the call should have been made earlier but that’s just classic race control.

Well it wasn't that. The document notes the following:I believe they did introduce a rule that you can't go alongside during the safety car period after around the mess in 2021.

I don't get why FIA dilly-dally so much in putting out a VSC, they always seem to take an age to react to what is happening on circuit.
Anyway, Red Bull looked the fastest especially with Checo getting fastest lap at the end and how easy it is was them to overtake cars and stay close. Does not look good for the championship for Lando as all the remaining races are strong circuits for Red Bull, they seemed to have found a setup direction that works with the car so Max might not feel the need to do his kamikaze moves if they are the fastest again. Hopefully others can take a step forward for the race and try and stop Max coming through too easily. Max with the penalty is getting closer to a race ban but still need a lot of penalties for that to happen. Red Bull with the performance they showed might be back in the constructor's fight.
Good to see Alpine beat a Red Bull and well clear of Aston Martin, what a turnaround.

Let's see if he can get a decent lap together in the proper qualifying with the experience gained, Haas seem to be fourth fastest team in qualifying pace.
