Still lots of debris on the track.
I'm no pro driver, but common sense would seem to dictate that when you stomp on the gas, have massive wheel spin, & spin out, you MIGHT want to let OFF the gas to stop the wheel spin & subsequent blinding cloud of white smoke that leads to everyone else crashing into your stupid azz.
He didn't want to risk crashing behind the safety car, i guess. Depends where the have to pit for slicks when the rain comes. and it looks like it's coming.
