  - The pickle the FIA is in is that (Other Sports) - CWC, Dec 13, 09:46:11
    - Yes, but in reality this decision would never have been made at any other time in the race (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Dec 13, 10:10:26
    - Absolutely - based upon Masi's evidence as per the stewards' decision, he seemingly (Other Sports) - NxNW, Dec 13, 09:57:04

      - But they took that risk when they ‘chose’ to pit (Other Sports) - CWC, Dec 12, 20:21:37
        
        The team radio commentary basically had Horner demanding that Masi ordered unlapping (Other Sports) - Ruttles, Dec 12, 20:36:30
        
        And Toto was telling him earlier not to deploy a SC (Other Sports) - CWC, Dec 12, 20:55:45
        
        I think one was asking the other demanding. (Other Sports) - Ruttles, Dec 12, 21:15:51

      - Nope, 48.13 overrules it (Other Sports) - CWC, Dec 12, 16:45:49
        
        The only power to let untapped cars back through is 48.12 (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Dec 12, 17:00:50
        
        What stops it? (Other Sports) - CWC, Dec 12, 17:10:25
        
        The only argument I can see…. (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Dec 12, 17:15:42

        Sorry for typos! (n/m) (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Dec 12, 17:17:09
        
        Don’t think it’s redundant in that it then applies in the “following lap” (Other Sports) - Jim, Dec 12, 17:35:38
        
        Yes, that’s fair, but the timing of when it comes in is set in 48.12 (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Dec 12, 17:39:22
