Several WEC drivers and teams were left frustrated after three safety cars turned the Monza race into a 'lottery' Full story:
had to make an emergency stop under the third safety car before returning to the pits shortly afterwards, but the sister #31 car had benefitted and was in contention for victory until it retired with an engine problem in the final hour.
“Today was probably in terms of luck the worst race I’ve ever had in my career,” said Deletraz, whose car was also delayed during Andrade’s first stop due to traffic in the pitlane. “I think the rules should be looked at, because the last two races in WEC have been decided by luck with who gets their safety cars right or not. I don’t think that’s what the competition wants.
“I don’t have the solution, but there needs to be a solution because it can’t be that it always gets decided by that. It’s for sure not good. “I don’t understand when you put safety car, why you don’t open the pits, everyone can do a pitstop, keeps their position and then back to race.”
