Whilst the randomisation that yellows cause can be fun, it isn't fun when it happens to multiple drivers every weekend.

If you want randomised racing based on luck, then swallow your pride and do reverse grids out of a hat BTCC style. IndyCar stopped being fun a while back for me, and one of the reasons was it felt like 75% of the race was pointless as it'd all get shaken up in a late race yellow anyway.
For the sake of few FCYs like the one at St. Pete's, you've been missing out on some excellent racing.
