Press release da FIA
Quote:
The problems identified during the final lap of the Monaco Grand Prix, counting for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship, showed a lack of clarity in the application of the rule prohibiting overtaking behind the Safety Car.
Adjustments to the regulations are necessary to clarify the procedure that cars must meet when the last lap is controlled by the Safety Car whilst also ensuring that the signaling for teams and drivers is made more clear.
These adjustments will help to avoid the problem which occurred during the Monaco Grand Prix from happening in the future.
The Formula One Commission, upon a proposal of the F1 Sporting Working Group will submit an amendment to the Sporting Regulations to address this issue. These amendments will be considered by the World Motor Sport Council at its next meeting in Geneva on June 23.
Portanto provavelmente vão incluir explicitamente que para o artigo 40.13 estar em efeito as bandeiras têm de continuar amarelas e propor indicações que não "safety car in this lap" para as equipas. Basicamente, está estabelecido que a Mercedes tinha toda a legitimidade para interpretar as regras como interpretaram e a ultrapassagem foi legal, embora a intenção da direcção de corrida fosse outra. Pena que o Schumi não possa ter o sexto lugar de volta.
