Thailand ‘seeking 2028 F1 race’, fourth-placed Ferrari disqualified after Le Mans · RaceFans

Remark of the day

Jacques Villeneuve was disillusioned System 1 didn’t purple flag the ultimate laps of the Canadian Grand Prix so they may try a late restart – however @Roger-Ayles says they made the right name to complete it behind the Security Automotive:

I used to be glad they didn’t throw a ‘for present’ purple flag and simply allowed the race to run to the tip behind the Security Automotive.

The incident wouldn’t have been wouldn’t have been a purple flag on say lap 10 of the race so there was no purpose for it to be a purple flag on lap 67.

Late race ‘for present’ purple flags simply to have a one/two/three/4 lap shoot-out simply finally ends up turning the grand prix right into a lottery and it simply would neither be honest or sporting. That is why historically if a significant incident prompted a race to be stopped late on it wouldn’t be restarted.

George Russell for example principally dominated that race so in the event that they referred to as a purple flag and did a full standing restart the place possibly poor grip ranges on a unclean a part of the monitor causes him to get a poor begin or he possibly will get clipped at flip one or has another challenge merely wouldn’t be a good or sporting approach to finish the race to not point out how it might simply make the outcome really feel unsatisfying and a bit manipulated from a followers standpoint.@Roger-Ayles
