Tja, daar weet ik ook 't fijne niet van, maar stel je deze situatie voor: wagen A komt de pit in om gerepareerd te worden aan de neus vanwege een incident (en daardoor is dus de SC de baan op) ik denk dat je dan wagen A in mag halen in de pit omdat die veeeeeel langer over de pitostop doet dan jijzelf???
Dit lijkt mij een
logische verklaring. Maar nogmaals: de regeltjes van de FIA ken ik niet...
Hier de regels van de Fia betreffende de Safetycar;
SAFETY CAR
149) a) The FIA safety car will be driven by an experienced circuit driver. It will carry an FIA observer capable
of recognising all the competing cars, who is in permanent radio contact with race control.
b) 30 minutes before the race start time the safety car will take up position at the front of the grid and
remain there until the five minute signal is given. At this point (except under m) below) it will cover a
whole lap of the circuit and enter the pit lane.
c) The safety car may be brought into operation to neutralise a race upon the decision of the clerk of the
course.
It will be used only if competitors or officials are in immediate physical danger but the circumstances
are not such as to necessitate stopping the race.
d) When the order is given to deploy the safety car, all observer's posts will display waved yellow flags
and a board "SC" which shall be maintained until the intervention is over.
From this time any car being driven unnecessarily slowly, and which is deemed potentially dangerous
to other drivers, will be reported to the stewards. This will apply whether any such car is being driven
on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane.
e) The safety car will start from the pit lane with its orange lights illuminated and will join the track
regardless of where the race leader is.
f) All competing cars must then form up in line behind the safety car no more than 5 car lengths apart
and overtaking, with the following exceptions, is forbidden until the cars reach the Line after the
safety car has returned to the pits. Overtaking will be permitted under the following circumstances :
- if a car is signalled to do so from the safety car ;
- under m) below ;
- any car entering the pits may pass another car or the safety car after it has crossed the first
safety car line ;
- any car leaving the pits may be overtaken by another car on the track before it crosses the
second safety car line ;
- when the safety car is returning to the pits it may be overtaken by cars on the track once it has
crossed the first safety car line ;
- if any car slows with an obvious problem.
g) When ordered to do so by the clerk of the course the observer in the car will use a green light to
signal to any cars between it and the race leader that they should pass. These cars will continue at
reduced speed and without overtaking until they reach the line of cars behind the safety car.
h) The safety car shall be used at least until the leader is behind it and all remaining cars are lined up
behind him.
Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within 5 car lengths of it (except under j)
below) and all remaining cars must keep the formation as tight as possible.
2006 F1 Sporting Regulations 25 / 36 12th July 2006
i) While the safety car is in operation, competing cars may enter the pit lane, but may only rejoin the
track when the green light at the end of the pit lane is on. It will be on at all times except when the
safety car and the line of cars following it are about to pass or are passing the pit exit . A car rejoining
the track must proceed at an appropriate speed until it reaches the end of the line of cars behind the
safety car.
Under certain circumstances the clerk of the course may ask the safety car to use the pit lane. In
these cases, and provided it’s orange lights remain illuminated, all cars must follow it into the pit lane
without overtaking. Any car entering the pit lane under these circumstances may stop at its
designated garage area.
j) When the clerk of the course calls in the safety car, it must extinguish its orange lights, this will be the
signal to the 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 five car lengths behind it. As the safety car is approaching the pit entry the yellow flags and SC
boards at the observer's posts will be withdrawn and replaced by waved green flags with green lights
at the Line. These will be displayed for no more than one lap.
k) Each lap completed while the safety car is deployed will be counted as a race lap.
l) If the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and
the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking.
m) In exceptional circumstances the race may be started behind the safety car. In this case, at any time
before the one minute signal its orange lights will be turned on. This is the signal to the drivers that
the race will be started behind the safety car. When the green lights are illuminated the safety car will
leave the grid with all cars following in grid order no more than 5 car lengths apart. There will be no
formation lap and race will start when the green lights are illuminated.
Overtaking, during the first lap only, is permitted if a car is delayed when leaving its grid position and
cars behind cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case,
drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order.
Any driver who is delayed leaving the grid may not overtake another moving car if he was stationary
after the remainder of the cars had crossed the Line, and must form up at the back of the line of cars
behind the safety car. If more than one driver is affected, they must form up at the back of the field in
the order they left the grid.
Either of the penalties under Article 54a) or b) will be imposed on any driver who, in the opinion of the
Stewards, unnecessarily overtook another car during the first lap.
