    It's also not unreasonable to see that if marshalls are going to need to push a car towards the pitlane, then the pitlane needs to be closed for them to push the car in.
    I am aware of the safety and need to be overcautious. This parked car was on the inside of the corner/near the pitlane entry and not a place where cars can go off easily. On the outside of the corner and in bad conditions? That was Bianchi. Leaving that car pushed backwards to the gap in the barrier there might have worked perhaps, not that I am complaining too much about LH being unlucky - he seems to have even better luck if you want to call it that with reliability/incidents/safety cars than MS ever had.

    He shows that he is not very good in pretty much every race (compare to Hamilton), unless he gets a pole on a rare occasion and stays ahead of the pack.
    We want the best possible drivers in the top cars but 2/3 seats in the top 3 cars are being wasted like this.
