as someone said on the thread, a virtual safety car is fairer.
Sure but there are reasons that they are sometimes inappropriate, for
instance when the need a gap for marshals to be able to cross or move
on the track safely.
VSC is the most boring development in F1 history.
But much fairer than a full safety car.
Absolutely. It required modernish tracking tech, but we have that tech
now, so we might as well use it. The safety car can be a complete
randomiser, and that's not what I want sport to be, so maybe the VSC's
one of the best developments in F1 history. The fact that it can
be active for only the absolute shortest period of time necessary is
also a boon. The real safety car's just horrid in comparison. Though
necessary sometimes, obviously.
