Hope to see Alonso and Grosjean on the podium again

Mr Men · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:00

Oh great now we have to wait for the lapped cars to catch back up, stupid rule

Guerrilla · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:00

Come on Grosjean, get the jump on Seb

+1

My car would be aimed at Vettels

Stupid regulation. Just gives us an extra couple of laps under the safety car.

It didn't work well the last time we had this rule, so they brought it back. :rolleyes:

Although, the safety car will help Di Resta.

Loads of traffic for Vettel to overtake again

Weebull · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:01

Vettel spin please.

englishpremier · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:01

That lapped cars rule is rubbish it'll take 5 laps for that HRT to make it back the end of the pack

Skillmister · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:01

At least we might have a race for 1st now..

Or maybe not

utajoker · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:01

vettel will just drive off again.

Looks like all the advantage he got from using his softs is gone then.

Weird rule. The whole point of the safety car is to keep the F1 cars together so that the stewards can have a clear track to work on. If they're letting the back markers through, they're not doing their job. :confused:

They've already done their job. That's why the lapped cars can go back through

steve45 · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:04

fingers crossed for grosjean, would love to see him mug vettel for first

Jokester · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:04

Would it not have been simpler to just let all the other cars overtake them behind the safety car?

Kenai · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:05

Vergne seems under the impression he was in front, so it seems just started to move over because he thought he was clear

CaptainRAVE · 24 Jun 2012 at 14:05

Why on earth did they bring this rule back :rolleyes:
