I hear you F91. I thought they got rid of "racing back to the line ", a few years ago. Is there a little known rule that says "not including the last lap". the purpose of the caution flag to to slow the competitors down due to potential for disaster. Although throwing the yellow may not have affected the outcome of the top 2, what about the 40 cars behind them that it would have been saved by the caution?

here is a suggestion. When you have a green white checkered finnish, drop the bottom 33 cars, send the to the garage. the top ten can race the final three laps "clean", just the way the chase happens at the end of the year. whichever make the rules the same throughout the event. Dont make exceptions just to suit the situation.

But that might not be good for ratings, which is what sports is really about.
