What would change the finish?

Build a fictional race weekend for the United States Grand Prix and see how a few interruptions move the clock.

For fun only This is a simple illustrative scenario, not an official prediction.

Each control sets the event count. The lab then models a stable fictional weekend: event length, lap pace, restarts, overlap, and the race clock all vary with the scenario. Start delay happens before lights out; the FIA race clock allows two hours of running, up to three hours when suspensions are added.
