They like to avoid restarts. Delays the race, which is not good for TV,
and is hard on the cars doing more than 1 start.

And any race with a restart has a large number of
clutch and drivetrain failures.

I remember in the past they've been quick to stop it when Michael was
involved!

.....because the track was not blocked & it was not dangerous to continue
under the safety car (which was onlyt out for about 3 laps)
 

Not relevant to the sporting contest.....those drivers that had the good
sense to steer clear of trouble deserve the advantages they got.

Television schedules come ahead of that, unfortunately.

It is a great shame that we were deprived of three championship
contenders before the first turn; it is a great shame that Kimi's remote
championship chances have effectively been terminated by his great
rival's team-mate and brother. It is pure fluke that Michael was not
handed today an almost unassailable lead in the championship that he did
not deserve.

But television schedules come ahead of that, unfortunately.

You seem to have a very selective memory, as there have been several
races with first-lap accidents like today, in which Michael was involved,
but without a restart.

It has nothing to do with the persons involved, it only depends on the
amount of debris/car wrecks on the track and whether they can be safely
removed or not.
