Race control's restart order change in Mexico was a "smart move"
Race control made an unexpected decision during a red-flag period at the Mexican Grand Prix by altering the restart grid order.

A featured comment from RaceFans reader Sumedh praised the FIA's decision, arguing it eliminated the gamble of teams betting on red flags and could have prevented past controversies.
