    Tbf the VSC wouldn’t have helped as the field was pretty spread at the time. And a full safety is quite a big intervention for relatively minor debris, slightly off line. Also, it was about to be when ppl started pitting so throwing a safety car would have given most drivers a free pitstop and potentially killed the race. I don’t like how it was handled but can understand why they did what they did at least.
