Actually, finishing under the safety car is more akin to a penalty shootout imo

No, it's Formula One RACING, and entertainment for billions on TV, not "boring, follow me under the safety car Grand Prix" (we had one of those in Belgium this year already)... it was probably scripted by Netflix, Masi may be sacrificed yes to appease MB, but then will likely get a long term gig with Netflix and I can't wait for the next season of "Drive to Survive!"
