A little-known FIA system was behind the decision to send recovery vehicles on-track during Formula 1’s Australian Grand Prix, according to information gathered by Autosport.
The incident in the Melbourne race produced a notable split in opinion, with many observers puzzled as to how the scenes had unfolded while the drivers were unconcerned. The discussion arose after Fernando Alonso crashed his Aston Martin during the season opener and his wrecked AMR25 was loaded onto a recovery truck that was then driven around part of the course while the pack continued to lap behind the safety car.
