If there was a safty car during Checo's 1 lap, would we have to watch a 26 lap unlapping? (lemmy.world)

He probably would have had to stop for new tires during the unlapping... The rules made as a result of the Hamilton / Verstappen debacle in '21 don't allow much room for variability in unlapping now..

No, itโ€™s about the order. The idea is not to mix drivers that are a lap (or multiple laps) down with drivers competing in the same lap.

I think Perez would have been to pass everyone once so he becomes the last driver and that is it. (Assuming he was not last to begin with)

Itโ€™s about the order of the drivers not so much about getting everyone in the same lap.
