That should have been an automatic instant red flag. Just because it’s the last lap shouldn’t mean that race control can weasel themselves out of that decision and endanger the driver sitting in the middle of the road. Race Control dropped the ball with that VSC decision. Listen to the onboard audio of RUS, you can hear the panic in his voice: https://dubz.co/c/f82a3d

Also look up the video of Stroll passing by Russel’s car, you can hear the fear on the engineer’s voice as he warned Stroll.
