    Apprarantly rume 48.13 takes precedence over 48.12
    "48.13
    When the clerk of the course decides it is safe to call in the safety car
    the message "SAFETY CAR
    IN THIS LAP" will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging
    system and the car's orange
    lights will be extinguished. This will be the signal to the Competitors
    and drivers that it will be
    entering the pit lane at the end of that lap.
    At this point the first car in line behind the safety car may dictate the
    pace and, if necessary, fall
    more than ten car lengths behind it.
    In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car
    returns to the pits, from the
    point at which the lights on the car are turned out drivers must proceed
    at a pace which involves
    no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre which is likely
    to endanger other
    drivers or impede the restart.
    As the safety car is approaching the pit entry the SC boards will be
    withdrawn and, other than
    on the last lap of the sprint qualifying session or the race, as the
    leader approaches the Line the
    yellow flags will be withdrawn and a green flag and/or green light panel
    will be displayed at the
    Line."

    simple translation, the race director can make it up as he goes along.

    Quite reasonable translation if that is indeed what they are claiming.

    Is that from a decision document? The FIA site is unresponsive so no
    checking for myself at the moment.

    Red Bull has clearly improved their photo collection to match Mercs.
