Dumpster fire race directing. Should’ve been a quick VSC and we could’ve avoided the mess with the punctures and the penalties.
Happy for Zhou though!
How long can it possibly take to choose what to do?
There’s dangerous debris on the track, you’ve put yellow flags on the only DRS zone, and you leave it like that until it gets hit by someone several minutes later, then you leave it with scattered debris for another minute. In the mean time two people get their races ruined or made worse, and you also hand out a HUGE penalty for a driver missing a flag that should have been a VSC minimum from the start. So stupid.
