No , I don't think so .
If you relieve the need to take out the lapped drivers , you wouldn't have had the need for more laps at all , and it would be far more fair to those who had done that lapping already .
They already lose whatever distance they had worked to gain from the pack being jammed back together .
Remember , if , on the restart , they had Max still behind the cars Lewis had already gone by , they would still have had to move aside because of blue flags , and Lewis might have had some chance of staying ahead until later in the lap at least .
In that scenario , I still see Max winning it , but at least it would have seemed a little more fair .
I want to add one more thing .
Racing is full of moments that are simultaneously called "lucky" and "totally unfair" .
That race we saw was over when Latifi's incident occurred , had they been consistent with every other situation I recall , having watched for too many years to think about .
I don't particularly like it when a race ends under caution , but it can happen . It's luck , both good and bad , for us , too .
I can handle that disappointment .
In a way , ironically , I'm disappointed that it didn't end in a disappointing finish .
