Are Coldtyre and I the only ones who doesnt see a problem with the current safety car rules? Just because the safety car has come out doesnt mean you should get an automatic right to unlap yourself. The rules should be the same for everybody, you are where you are when it comes out.
The safety car is not here to make the race more exciting and people need to stop viewing it as such. It should only be used for safety reasons, otherwise we would get invisibris cautions like in NASCAR.
The best would be to keep the gaps as they are before the yellow, but there is no practical way to do it, so the closest we can practically get to fairness is to keep the cars positions on track.

To me if the top cars want the "advantage" of lapped cars out the way then you have to let lapped cars get the lap back. To me it seems unfair to give one group all the advantages and another all the disadvantages, so I'd be against shuffling them to the back.
These two groups are not really fighting together. The fairness to be looked upon here is within drivers in the same lap.
Destroying the gap a driver built is already a big blow, if on top of that you let the guy behind be on their neck, having taken no risk at all in backmarker overtaking, it's just plain unfair to me.
Could not agree more with this.
