Light shouldn't be a big prob the next 20 mins. Shadows will get longer but it ain't nothing they've to deal with elsewhere.
Yeah, as far as I am aware it won't run on aggregate.

Don't think the outcome will change. Hickman is a class on his own.

Clever thinking there by Hickman by slowing up to not have a long wait with the additional one min past the final rider

Yep as Hickman retakes the lead, with Rutter keeping with him.

Huge crash and another red flag. No chance of a restrt today.

No restart tonight confirmed but some doubt if it can be run tomorrow due to the tight schedule and circuit having to be reopened for the public to use the road.

Whether it is going to be restarted is only of secondary importance to me at the minute really. First off, I wonder who was involved in the pile up and hope that everyone involved wasn't hurt heavily. Thankfully, it happened in one of the much slower places.

plenty of time between FIA GT World Cup and the F3 GP. I tend to think that they are going back to the 8 laps of the restart if it gets a rerun
