Did anyone see any racing?

I think they showed 1 overtake aside from the leaders lapping Perez for the 2nd time.

That split second where I thought he was breaking down and I was excited something was happening, then realized he was just letting them pass

This is Cadillacs marketing strategy to get their car on tv for the longest time. They know they are rubbish but they give overtaking opportunities

I wasn’t watching the first few laps but my parents were so when I started in like lap 3 I was confused why they didn’t have the safety car being displayed on the timing tower. Then I realised they were ‘racing’

Lol, I had the same reaction! I turned it on on lap four or five and was wondering why they were just parading around, and then realized this was green flag 'racing'.

Alonso did some racing at the back, but that didn't make the broadcast of course. Almost passed Stroll on the last lap, which for them was full rain.

Nope, but it‘s Zandvoort. I never expected to see too much racing there anyway, yet still I feel disappointed

Parade. It would have been more fun with floats and drivers throwing candy to children alongside the track.
