We did get a lap of racing at the end, and it was a motor race. Agree that as per the current rules it shouldn't have ended the way it did, but the rule is bollocks when in the past we've had to wait another couple of laps for the backmarkers to unlap themselves. With the tech in F1 now it should be simple to just drop them to the back of the pack and sort out the timings on the computer.
