MONACO, May 30 — Formula One’s governing body defended the handling of the showcase Monaco Grand Prix after rain delayed the start for more than an hour on Sunday, and a crash then caused another long stoppage.
“We are Formula One drivers, so that is definitely not a good reason,” the Briton said when told the delay was because there had been no practice running on wet tyres earlier in the weekend. The decision to hold rolling starts, rather than standing ones, was because some drivers would have been disadvantaged by wet asphalt when others were on the dry.
On Sunday, drivers did two formation laps behind the safety car before red flags were waved and the cars returned to the pits.
