Restarts after red flags add a 'lottery' element to F1, but Christian Horner believes it was the right thing to do on Sunday. AusGP
Christian Horner highlights a ‘massive variable’ when FIA trigger red flag restartsChristian Horner said restarting from a red flag is a “lottery” but ultimately backed the race director’s call to wave it in Melbourne.
What resulted was chaos, with more than five drivers being involved in some kind of incident at the restart. Thankfully for Horner, none of them were wearing the red, blue and yellow overalls of Red Bull with Verstappen going on to secure his second win of the season while Perez ended P5. “The problem is, when you’re the lead car and you’ve been controlling a 10s lead all afternoon suddenly it’s a massive variable that becomes a bit of a lottery.”
