What the hell just happened? They just ruined what was a good race for no reason, and gifted Ocon, Verstappen, and Gasly a free pit stop? Wow, just let them race.

This has been going on under the current rules for a very long time. This time it benefits Verstappen while it's very often negatively affected him.
But I totally agree, the rule should be that 1 pitstop with a different tyre is mandatory. Red flags should never be allowed to negate the mandatory tyre change.
Wet races already don't have mandatory pitstops, but otherwise I agree with your point.
I have no problem with the red flag for a crash, or tyre changes under a red flag. The safety car for nothing is what has me shocked, especially when they weren't even using wet tyres. For the past few years it has been a complete joke how the stewards react to rain before even letting the drivers race on wets.
Max on a mission
Up until Lawson's spin: great job by Vcarb!
I'm sure FIA will penalize the British driver known as Lando Norris for breaching the aborted start procedure.
It has been noted
Edit: under investigation, it might be a big penalty
Norris can't stop fucking it up.
Max is just flying though the grid.
Damn a red flag guarantee. Damn that was big brain by Alpine and Red Bull
Colapinto, noooo not under SC of all situations :(
Williams is gonna blow past that cost cap π
Alpine and Verstappen benefit mega from this. Free tire change.
Hulk is probably pissed
Watching this race on Drive to Survive will be very interesting.
Red bull strategy masterclass. Same by alpine
Edit : why didn't they pit
A beached whale and the pole sitter fucking up starting procedures. This might become one of my favourite races. Let's see if it'll slot before or after Hockenheim 2019 (my current #1).
Start procedure infringement to be investigated after the race.
I wonder what the repercussions will be.
Less than saying fuck?
Stroll FTW
The way this is going, both Saubers might end up in the points.
Immediate damage for Stroll, oof. He then ran it into the gravel.
Double lol there
Complete chaos
Two local heroes on the podium today! π (Brazil borders France)
It might be a pit lane start for Norris.
Sorry for all the Verstappen haters π
The distortion from that screen in the cool down room makes it seem as like the cars are getting bigger and smaller lol
