Was away for long weekend with poor internet coverage so only managed 4 hours of Bahrain at start of this week until unofficial video bumper - so will probably have to wait a bit for remainder - offical videos up next week or so?.

So FCY pitstops benefitted Ferrari and Corvette (uncompetive due to BOP) twice compared to top Porsche in championship? Assume if affected AM too.

Pitting under FCY not really a Le Mans problem - for the shorter courses they could hold cars for say 30 seconds like they do for penalties(average pit stop (1 min?) x (80kph/average lap speed of slowest class)with a bit of rounding). To largely reduce avantage.

Stopping FCY pit stops for WEC in 2023(like possibly happening) does create problems if FCY goes on for more than a few laps as you then get the penalty of a minimum/emergency refill stop (which would tend to penalise cars that have gone longer between earlier stops).
