Thanks for pointing that out,

click me

Both that Brogan mentioned were red-falgged twice, but the one AMR mentioned was restarted after the stallers, and then one red-flag for the crash. Not sure what the difference is, but spa 01 only had one red flag.

Also thank FB for sorting out the button

 

[Brogan]

Yes, an aborted start due to a stalled car is different to a restart.
