Let's look at the length of the cautions. There are CAUTIONS and there are cautions. It obviously takes some time to clean up the mess after a multi-car accident. They cannot take the chance of leaving pieces of metal or debris on the track which could then cause another accident. These situations definitely require lots of time to clean up.

However, the cautions that drive me nuts are those where a piece of debris is spotted on the track which actually requires a ONE LAP CAUTION while a track worker runs out to pick it up. But no, they follow the pace car for a lap or two then pit lane is opened and everyone goes in for new tires and a tank of gas, then they go round and round several more laps while a pile of commercials are run on TV.

Please do not get me started on the stupid lucky dog rule which must be the laughing stock of every serious race series in the world.
