"I believe this was inaugurated to ensure backmarkers didn't get involved and affect the result at the front of the race, and as a perceived benefit from time to time, drivers were brought back into full contention later in the race.
But the system is guaranteed to unduly prolong the safety car period, especially on long circuits like Silverstone and Spa."
Brundle proposed that F1 adopt alternative sporting solutions, such as directing lapped cars into the pit lane or using red flags to guarantee green-flag racing finishes for the fans.
"There are potential fixes.
In IndyCar, for example, if it's within the last 10 laps, instead of a wave-by the lapped cars are made to peel off into the pitlane and rejoin at the back of the field," said Brundle.

"Or we could simply have the lapped runners simply drop behind the pack."
