Honestly, I don't think Mclaren and Ferrari thought of paragraph 40.13 here...


I said it before, this rule has been used in the last F2 race as well, if there's a SC situation during the last lap, it will enter the pitlane and no overtaking is allowed. It's a new rule and it was explained there. Obviously those teams knew this rule otherwise they wouldn't have told their drivers NOT to overtake.

But when race directors get it wrong it's another story.
That "race finish under SC" is not a new rule at all. Same rule was used in the 1999 Canadian GP the first time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxHnD6Gm4lA

Despite the fact that in 1999 they were not allowed to pass before start/finish line, it's quite the same situation - just without any green flag or "track clear" message, which was obviously the stewarts misstake as we already clarified.

CART, Sanair 1985; Caution on the final lap. The pace car pulls in and Pancho Carter passes Johnny Rutherford for the win. Carter was not allowed to keep his win because he passed before the finish line.

There were 4 recored passes in the race (not including the Schumacher one) and they were all done by Alonso in the first 15 laps.

Webber

Not one mistake all weekend, leads every corner of the race, sets pole and fastest lap. Gave the field a driving lesson.

Do they include the backmarkers that let him pass? I know Glock and maybe another fought for the position, but I don't think they all did.

I heard an interesting point made on another forum. If it's that late in the race, why not just red flag the race and end it?

Because teams will complain that there's still a chance for a car ahead to break down under SC.

in a straight line HRT are as fast as any car without a F-duct. It's all down to downforce and lack of car performance.

Yep...i'm actually still trying to find the funny part.

Scotty, we all know what you think about HRT and the new teams, and you want us to believe that this was a joke :roll-eyes:

Back on this topic, I have heard from multiple marshals that the green flags don't overrule the rule in the rulebook. It was just an indication that the track has been cleared of any obstruction.

Well looking at how his car just goes around so quickly, that drain cover could indeed be the root cause


I think you can clearly see, at the beginning of this vid, that the rear left is already damaged before he hits the wall.
