As it should be. Might as well shuffle them to the back of the pack because you could definitely get a scenario where someone causes a red flag to gain an advantage.

Jeez, Hamilton... that's a great recovery.
Rules are good/bad depending on if your drivers benefits or loses out. Stop moaning because when it screws Lewis over in the future you'll be like "greatest rule ever". Grow up.
False. It's a bad rule period. It gifts people with poor cars, bad starts, mistakes and accidents with a second chance. I don't care who it benefits or hurts. It's an idiotic rule that has no place in racing. Same with NASCAR's "lucky dog" rule.Rules are good/bad depending on if your drivers benefits or loses out.

That rule about cars unlapping themselves under SC/red flag is going to be analysed a lot today.
To be honest, if Hamilton wasn't the beneficiary then I am not sure it would get as much (or any) attention. The rule has been there for at least 7 years now so it isn't like it should be news to anyone.

Quite so - though I think it came in for the 2012 season, so this is the tenth season it's been in effect, and there were questions about it back then too. I'm not sure anyone ever envisioned a situation where a driver could unlap themselves under red flag and then finish secondTo be honest, if Hamilton wasn't the beneficiary then I am not sure it would get as much (or any) attention.

"Blind Hamilton haters". Written by the guy who is so over the moon by everything that Hamilton does that it's borderline unbelievable.It's a rule that works and is only controversial because of blind Hamilton haters again.
That rule looks stupid at first glance, but what about having a restart with plenty of cars under blue flag ? How is this supposed to work ?F1 has always had some stupid rules. Lapped drivers being allowed to unlap themselves before the restart after the red flag is way up there in my book.

Removing that rule would mean that a driver lapped by the leader before the red flag should slow down to be overlapped by the whole field right from the start.
Probably an unpopular opinion - if they get rid of the rule that allows car to unlap themselves after SC and RF...how about getting ride of blue flag??
That's not the problem. The problem is that since the red flag / safety car is squeezing gaps, a lapped car would become de facto under cascading blue flags and have to slow down to let everyone pass it immediately.Sure, the lapped drivers will have to pass the race leaders to get back onto the lead lap but they'd have to do that anyway if the red flag never came out.

Sorry I'm late to the sport?
