10TENTHS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I counted, it was 11 laps. Blue flag is advisory only, unless the starter displays it or a direct command is given from race control. You are allowed to fight to stay on the lead lap within reason. Montoya had no issue going from 21st to 5th, that wasn't on pit strategy. The ad-free coverage on BT Sport was pretty good, we got to see stuff (including overtakes) that the US broadcast missed during the commercials.

That would lose him more positions. The other drivers were informed of the debris, they all managed to stay inside or outside of it. Considering people have been quick to criticise Indycar for throwing FCYs, it's funny that they complain about the opposite now.
