Nonoise,
I agree. Of all the possible alternatives, the one chosen by Masi made the least sense. If there was not enough time for ALL the backmarkers to come around the leaders before the restart, he could have left them all in place, including the four between Verstappen and Hamilton. That would have made for an interesting race because Verstappen would be able to clear them relatively quickly, which would have given him a chance to pass, but not given him such an easy path to a victory that was unearned.
I still think red flag and either a standing restart or a safety car restart with more than one racing lap remaining would have made the most sense.
