What a fucking shambles. If he is well enough to “walk” off then why red flag, and more to the point, why restart?

Only time I’ve ever thought that an asterisk was even plausible. Anstie was robbed.

Do the staggered start but have someone with a stop watch to keep the gap they had before the red flag.

So we don’t put the red flag out when they probably should have.  Guys go by him twice.  Then 7 seconds before it can be a complete race they red flag.  Sometimes, way too often, the AMA has their head up their ass.  Levi winning is better for my fantasy….but Max got robbed.

The red flag restart rule requires 3 laps minimum after the restart

Ah, thank you for that info.

ALL of you being in their shoes would be pumped to get a staggered restart at the near end of a race to use it to your advantage…

Does suck for max though

911: “What’s your emergency?”

Me: “I’d like to report a robbery”

You could tell Kitchen felt bad about it. It’s fair game though, and Anstie would have done the same.

Seems like every round so far something crazy unexpected happens.. what comes next weekend?


Levi didn’t seem happy over it, can’t feel good for him either.

That’s insightful, but if there was less than 3 total laps left, shouldn’t that rule be null and void? Complete horse crap.

There had to have been a communication problem with the AMA officials, they had a long stretch of time where they just had a yellow flag out for that crash with the medic out there ( why not the Red Cross flag that whole time? ). 
Then with 7 seconds left they decide to go straight to a red flag?

I say there had to be a communication problem, otherwise this seems kind of silly.

This reminded me of the last lap overtake from Verstappen on Hamilton after the safety-car in 2021 in Abu Dhabi, anyone remember that race?

I'd tell them to suck it and not do the podium interview if I'm Max

If I had actual money on max to win I’d be calling draftkings for my money back

Tbf he was not really walking off very well. But they could've looked at the clock and made the decision in waiting with him for 4 minutes. Clearly he wasn't dying or unconscious. Someone made a bad call there. He really wasn't in a dangerous place to wait out 2.5 laps.

A red flag because of McAdoo. They put a neck brace on him and walk him off the track? Isn' the AMA in a lawsuit for doing the same thing?
