and he said it loudly back in 21 and has never once changed his stance or stopped saying it. 🫡 (standing with Lewis has never been a very easy choice for his colleagues and few have ever done it when it mattered most. I never forget the ones who did/do. Just as i never forget the ones who don't/never have)
Full Question George's Full Answer:
Q: I guess this question is to Lewis and George as the British drivers, but obviously the race finished behind the Safety Car. There was quite a bad reaction from the crowd, quite a few boos. It looks as though we were going to get the race going and then we didn't. So how disappointing, I guess, was that from your perspective? And I guess particularly from you, Lewis, as you mentioned there that you put on the new tyres to hopefully have a good restart.
GR: I mean, of course it's a shame for any race to finish into the Safety Car. But then you go back to Abu Dhabi ’21, and that is just how racing goes. Nobody can plan for somebody to have an incident, and the way F1 deal with it and FIA deal with it shouldn't be any different at the end of the race compared to the start of the race. Obviously, there was a lot of chat post-Abu Dhabi ’21. If you actually look at the number of races that have finished under the Safety Car over the past 20 years, it's not actually a lot. So, as I said, it is a shame, but what can you do? I don't think it should be different.
LH: Yeah, same as George said. Not really much more to add.
