    Meh, it’s the same in every feeder series: the team and the driver are responsible for knowing when the race ends. It happens very rarely that a driver misses it. But it’s not the first time ever either.

    FIA could change this and have the stewards wave a certain flag throughout the whole track after checkered flag.
