• "It's ridiculous"

    From News@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Mon Nov 22 14:33:04 2021
    "Unfortunately thererCOs a yellow flag rCo he just didnrCOt see it," Horner told F1 media partner Sky Sports before Sunday's race that saw Verstappen start seventh and finish second. "He saw the white one (panel), he saw the car, he even saw a green light on the right-hand side. I think itrCOs just a rogue marshal that stuck a flag out. HerCOs not instructed to by the FIA rCo theyrCOve got to have control of the marshals. ItrCOs as simple as that. ThatrCOs a crucial blow in the championship for us. WerCOre now starting P7 at a track you canrCOt overtake at. That is massive.

    "It's ridiculous," the 78-year-old Marko told European media outlet Sport1. "The FIA cannot set up a decent marshaling system and tries to hide its incompetence by putting it onto the shoulders of the drivers. In the digital age, the drivers have everything on the display. And there was nothing on the display. And suddenly an inexperienced person was waving flags.

    "Then the message came from Masi that it was OK, and at the same time Max saw the green light which he thought was for him. It was just an unfortunate situation and in my opinion none of the drivers should have been punished."

    The system is flawed.

    But it is fundamental for safety that even the rules of a flawed system
    need to be followed.

    Failure to obey a yellow flag is a serious breach of a safety rule.

    Do you think that if a driver sees a yellow flag, he should get to
    decide whether or not to obey it?

    You see a yellow flag you slow down. You don't see one when one is to
