They're channeling their inner NASCAR not finishing under green.


Many people often ask what happened to NASCAR? Stupid decisions like this are what happened.

What a joke.

I remember reading comments from some fans bitching about the aero screen when it came out.

Dumb. There were 5 laps left. Finish under green.

One thing Nascar has gotten right.

I think it was a little too late to red flag it.

Scary arse hit, but that's two for Sato now

Unsatisfactory finish for everyone but the guy in P1.

This is why it's risky to hang back for a late pass.

They got it right after fricking up the finish of many many races.

Would’ve liked to see them finish, but I don’t believe Dixon would’ve overtaken Sato.

Even with a red flag, I think they needed more than one or two pace laps before they could go green again.

wanting red here is a bad take. things like GWC and red flags are what killed nascar. they started at richmond in 99 and never went back. downplay sport, meme up the entertainment factor WWE style.

taku drove a great race, he earned the win, and red flagging for a 1 lap shootout is BS that ends up with more cars in the junkyard.

That last crash was brutal, Pigot really helped out the team though by guaranteeing the win.

Doesn't NASCAR add laps to the race if they do a late red / green flag finish? They weren't going to do that here, that's why they didn't red flag it.

A crappy ending, but it wasn't a fluke win, Sato earned it by working his way to the front.

As someone else said, this finish was peak 2020.

Remember when Fittipaldi refused the milk and drank orange juice?
