Jaguar duo Sam Bird and Mitch Evans have questioned FormulaE's decision not to restart the red-flagged New York City E-Prix, with over 7mins left to run 🤔
, but as the FIA determined that the race would not resume, the results were counted back from the end of lap 29, relegating Evans to 11th - while Bird claimed ninth.
"I don't understand the call - why red flag it and then not resume the race?" Evans told Motorsport.com."There was seven minutes of the race plus a lap left, so a lot of the race left to go. Conditions were only going to get better as the rain had stopped. "I get that rule has been around for a long time but it just seems wrong. In qualifying if you cause a red flag you lose your lap; I just think there's been a few things I think today, that I completely don't agree with and I just don't think it's a good look on the sport."Photo by: Simon Galloway /Bird agreed with Evans' assessment and was arguably more effusive in his criticism of the decision not to resume the race.
"Firstly, look, we see that it's dry. The track's dry," said Bird."We could have stopped for half an hour, cleared the carnage, gone out under safety car, and finished the race for the fans, for everybody, to have a proper conclusion.
