Yeah the timing seemed very suspect. Nico was getting out of the car when the swap was going on
It feels very manipulated, I’m not sure what changed when it was yellow flag for like 3 laps and then they change to VSC seconds after Norris overtakes. It’s not even about the points, it just took out all the action.
While I do not condone any suggestions of it being manipulated, there has to be question why Nico was put under risk for 2 laps. Very poor by race control considering how much safety takes the centre stage these days
The last part felt super manipulated.
And a VSC infringement for Max on top. I don’t even know how this could be more obviously manipulated lmao
