Hi [USER=2617]Chris Stevens[/USER] , Yup, saw that and initially thought the same as yourself. However, I'm not sure that was entirely his fault now as he was apparently following the direction of track-side officials. I would say Leimer was the numpty as he should have been aware that non-podium finishers would use the designated exit from track to paddock. Having said that I suspect the marshaling was perhaps less than ideal. Where were they?Usually one sees a number of marshals on the track using red and/or yellow flags to wave drivers off track. I would have thought that having designated an exit that is in an unusual point on the circuit (the exit for GP2 was not the same as would later be used by F1) then highly visible marshaling would have been all the more important. It would be sensible for a no overtaking rule to be in place for the slow down lap as well, as I'm sure there have been incidents in the past - near misses at the very least.
