If this current crop of drivers actually took any notice of yellow and white flags, we wouldn't need a stupid safety car, anyway.
However, since they dont, they've decided on using a safety car with arbitrarily makes races closer than what they should be. If someone's good enough to win by 6 laps, they should be allowed to race on their merits. The ONLY reason Skaife/Longhurst didn't win by the length of Conrod last year was because of safety cars. It's an absolute joke.
Can anyone actually point out for me ONE accident that was directly attributable to a quick lift truck, being covered under Yellows and Whites? I defy you to. Instead we have race control putting out safety cars to clear things that were way off race line. Can the safety Car, NOW. Or if not, then severely curtail its use.
