"As conditions were d🧸eteriorating, the Red Flag was shown before Car 10 passed the location of the incident where it had b🧔een damaged the previous lap."

The summons notice said "car 10 reached speeds of up to 250 km/h when completing the lap under the red flag after passing the scene of the incident."&nbs✅p;

Wtf. How’s this happened!? We lost a life in this situation ye꧅ars ago. We risk our lives, especially in conditions like this. We wanna race. But this… Unacceptable.
