Lewis Hamilton wants safety car rule change after Italian GP – "What's the harm?"

Lewis Hamilton suggested Formula 1 should adopt a British Touring Cars-style system for safety cars during a race in the wake of the anti-climactic ending to the Italian Grand Prix.

The race at Monza was an intriguing one, as the lead switched several times with Red Bull and Ferrari embroiled in a tight tactical battle. Max Verstappen looked like he was going to win the race, but a safety car in the final few laps made sure of it.

Daniel Ricciardo's mechanical issue caused the safety car to be called. And due to delays in moving the McLaren off the track, there was no time to restart the race – meaning Charles Leclerc never got the chance to try to overtake his rival before the chequered flag.
