Agree that it was ugly, but do we not need to leave some responsibility to the drivers and their ability to behave in a safe manner when the conditions call for it? Perhaps some of the comments from qualifying (differing closing speeds) and the second safety car period (cars circulating at race pace under FCY) need to be addressed, with harsh penalties for people not driving to the flag conditions. Maybe an F1 style time delta, or speed limit in yellow sections?
I believe it's always better to avoid a safety car where possible, but there are still areas that could be improved in the process. On the other hand, I watched and Indycar race today where a safety car was deployed for a car brushing the wall so lightly that it suffered no damage at all, which then also put the car that brought the caution out in a potentially advantageous position, as it was the only one that pitted under that yellow! And that's not to speak of the NASCAR nonsense, with safety cars being called for pieces of paper on the track, etc. That's not the direction we want to be heading in.....
