The Dutch champion believes the conditions of clearing Daniel Ricciardo’s car in the race made it inevitable for the race to end behind the Safety Car. Asked by Sportskeeda if the safety car rules needed changing, the Dutch champion said: “I think I just explained what happened with the car being stuck in gear just took too long and you run out of laps, and then they still had to get rid of a few cars in between which then… you need them to catch up.

“Yeah, the same.

You can’t extend the race. Following Abu Dhabi, we had some discussions about races ending under the safety car. I think we looked at every single race since ‘98 and it happened 10 times.

Max Verstappen feels 2022 F1 Italian GP ending behind a Safety Car was just unfortunate
Max Verstappen felt that the 2022 F1 Italian GP finishing behind the Safety Car was unfortunate as race control ran out of time to extend the race. While gear issues on Daniel Ricciardo’s car made removing it a prolonged process, the Dutchman claimed that even the location where the car was parked made it more difficult to clear.

Ultimately, race control ran out of time to be able to extend the race, which cost a potential final shootout to the finish. Explaining the safety car incident in detail, Max Verstappen said:
“Yeah – but from what I understood, was that the car was stuck in gear and that’s why it took so long.

Because, of course, when the car’s parked there, there is no gap where you can push the car into, compared to some other places. And that’s why the crane had to come. And that’s why I guess they just run out of time.

The Dutchman seemed confident that he would have clinched the win despite his rival Charles Leclerc being on the same set of tires behind him. Also Checkout:- F1 Schedule 2022 What's your favorite race of the 2022 season so far?
