What’s the deal?

There is no controversy over the recent Italian GP. There may be dissatisfaction but the rules were followed and unfortunately this meant the race ended under a safety car. That is just because the incident happened late in the race – sucks but it happens.
Abu Dhabi was a different situation. There was a late race incident and the safety car rules were NOT followed. It is generally believed that this resulted in a flawed result which unfortunately became a HUGE mess because the outcome of the race determined the overall World Driver Championship. The FIA (who is responsible for running the race) made some lame excuse, fired the race director and tried to save face.
Since Abu Dhabi, many safety car procedures are being called out whether they are done correctly or not. Fans are (still) very sensitive about this matter.
