## Resource

The British Grand Prix ended under the safety car — a move that sparked boos from fans after a glitch falsely signaled its end. Though the FIA confirmed the correct procedures were followed, including the mandatory final lap after lapped cars unlap, the software error and lack of a dramatic restart left many disappointed. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff joked he’d have preferred the rules to be enforced this way in 2021, praising the sport’s adherence to protocol over spectacle. George Russell, who claimed second, defended the decision, echoing that race control shouldn’t treat race endings differently than safety car periods — a nod to the controversial Abu Dhabi finish. Ultimately, Formula 1 prioritized rules over drama, even if it meant a less thrilling finale. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
