Motorsport community urges FIA to reconsider rules and move beyond ‘obsession’ with avoiding Safety Car finishes

Johansson has expressed his concern that the desire to end races under green flag conditions is leading to some questionable decision-making, which he considers to be “unfair”. While the Sporting Regulations do not stipulate this rule, the teams had reached an agreement with the FIA to end Grand Prix races under green flag conditions whenever possible. However, this has resulted in some farcical and infamous endings to races, such as the final lap at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi and the Australian Grand Prix that eventually ended under the Safety Car.
