“The Stewards note that if they had the authority to grant a derogation in what they consider in this case to be mitigating, unusual and unfortunate circumstances, they would have done so, however the regulations do not allow such action.”

Hopefully the FIA can step in and override this by tomorrow, seems like everyone would be on board

Yeah this isn't a wonderful look for the sport. Other drivers, team strategy, etc., are part of the hazards. Shit tracks, however, shouldn't be.
