MODERATORS
They should let them start in the pit.. There is no reason to start a lap down.
And in this particular case, Danny is right, there wasn't even a racing lap. Just let them back in the field at the back.
He drove well. He made up a minute and 10-15 seconds on the car in front of him.
They usually make them drive an extra lap before the restart. It wouldn't be entirely fair to have them race starting on the same lap as the others without ever having done that lap.
So make them drive around the track until they're level. The red flag was a lengthy one anyway, adding another minute or so wouldn't have ruined anything, and skipping that completely ruined two races.
