If it is a "safety" situation, then why is it safe for some cars to pass and others not?

Agree with God-Speed that this needs to be applied consistently.

Honestly, when something happens on the track, it shouldn't really be only the leaders who are punished. But it does make for more exciting racing (when the rest of the field is otherwise so far behind the two or three lead cars that they might as well be in the previous week's race), when you get essentially 40 laps qualifying and then a 20 lap sprint race to the finish.

The teams and FIA need to get together to re-do the rules. The safety cars are driven by very specific rules. It is not driven by strategy or entertainment. Appears so at times. Many are complaining but that is for the rules group to address. I think we might see some changes.
