The deployment of the safety car may be exciting, but surely it is very unfair? A driver can build up a substantial lead and be cruising to victory (as Lewis was last Sunday) and then because of another driver's crash, see that lead eradicated with the release of the safety car. The race in effect starts over again, and the all that hard work of the leader is for nothing. Why can't the drivers be told that they have to keep the same time and distance from the car in front? Surely this could easily be monitored by the pit lane computers and the drivers could be told if they were going too fast and told to slow down. Ok, this may be difficult to monitor precisely but they could build in something like a 1 or 2 second margin of error - i.e. when the safety car goes off the track and the race restarts, at that point all cars must be no more than 1 second closer to the car in front than at the time before the safety car was deployed. It's not perfect but the current rule is nuts!
Easiest solution would be to get all the drivers to slow down and switch on their pit-lane rev limiters so they were all doing 80kmh, that speed is slower than what they do behind the safety car.
It would be easy to monitor as the cars rear lights flash when this is engaged, give the drivers a few seconds to react to the SC boards coming out and then when the SC period ends give them a countdown over the radios etc.
At those speeds the marshalls could still work on the track without much danger, you would still need an option to red flag the race of course if the track was completely blocked etc.
