Very happy for Charles!

But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

They should add a rule that a red flag doesn’t count as a tire change for the purposes of fulfilling the “you must change tires at least once during a race” rule

Rather the rule should allow tyres to be changed to the same compound only in case of a red flag. That way they are still allowed to change tyres freely but then they have still make a stop to run a different compound if they haven’t done that before.
