I don't really know to be honest. If a race is red-flagged and it is impossible to resume because of the conditions then the results are taken from how they crossed the line 2 laps before the red flags are brought out.

In any race points are only available if the car has completed a minimum 90% race distance, hence why Bourdais and Kimi both scored points yesterday despite not taking the chequered flag. Presumably if the race only lasts 10 laps then only those who made it to lap 9 are eligible for points, for example.

I'm not sure that the rules stipulate that a certain number of laps have to be run before a result can be declared. Not sure what would happen if the race is red-flagged after 1 lap. Maybe allocate points according to qualifying positions.

Anyway, let's hope it doesn't come to that and that we get a good race.
