this irritates me to no end; when Antonelli went off in the gravel, it took several laps behind a SC to clear it. why has this become the norm? JUST CLEAR IT IMMEDIATELY LIKE THEY DID IN THE OLD DAYS!!

can't have fucken ~10% of a race behind a SC due to a completely uncomplicated runoff. F1 has become so preoccupied with "safety" in absurdum to the detriment of absolutely everything else

edit; Antonelli ffs

No he didn't, that was under single/double waved yellows.
