Why F1 should avoid knee-jerk rule changes after Lando Norris' Madrid heartbreak

Lando Norris lost a Formula 1 race win through no fault of his own - or his team's - but simply because of the unfortunate timing of a virtual safety car, triggered on lap 14 of the Spanish Grand Prix after Lance Stroll's retirement.
