Some questions.
1. Pit window was between 29-31 laps before the end of the race, why the hell do they break to commercial during the pit window? Stupid.
2. I sped through the post red flag safety car, but why have the pace car do 6 laps? Can’t they warm up the tires faster? Seems silly.
Final laps were great though!

The men who make the rules decided to spend another 1-2 laps getting all the lapped cars to the back of the line behind the safety car so they would not impact the final run to the flag.
As was demonstrated after the prior safety car a 1 lap down back marker was racing a lead driver (Rossi) blocking and keeping him behind and almost ruining his race with the front runners.
