For the rest, it's normal to remove lapped cars in a safetycar situation as lapped cars shouldn't intervene with the outcome, so for the 1-2 place it made no difference.
The one with the best/most aggressive pit stop strategy won in this case.
Mercedes lost here on tactics. That has been their weak spot all year. |
"Carlos Sainz says the "very strange" circumstances of the late-race Safety Car at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix nearly cost him his third place."
It still amazes how many here think it's OK for F1 not following rules....I'm guessing it's because it doesn't affect their driver's outcome. One wonders if their view would change if it resulted in a outcome they did not want.
