I am fine with them having 2 laps behind the safety car. It rewards those that did the business on Saturday in qualifying. Maybe it needs to be made clearer that if this happens again then this is what will happen so make sure you try your best in qualifying. You also cannot blame the drivers like Russell, they don't make the rules and the smaller teams get screwed over often enough by the big boys it was nice to see them benefitting for a change.
Russell needs a step up next season without a doubt.
They actually had 4 laps behind the safety car but the first 2 didn't count. They spent the thick end of 2 hours after the first 2 laps arguing/debating over whether the race had actually started or not. They finally decided it hadn't and then did another 2 laps so they could post a result.
Other opinions are available but IMO you don't deserve a "win" or a podium finish for managing not to crash in the pissing rain during quali the day before. Plenty of folk have done a great job in quali but end up with no points as only the race result counts, and there was no race today. If conditions mean you can't race then you don't race and you move on to next week.
