From the onboard footage from Vettel's car there is only about 3-4 seconds between the view of the Lotus going off and the car passing the green light at the end of the 'restricted' zone, so I am not sure just how much sector time adjustment could have been achived by the drivers - presumably the reason that no penalty was applied.
Given that the stationary car was right under the flag point IMHO it would have been more effective for that point to display a green and the previous point the yellow, but given that the flag marshals are now controlled from Race Control they probably didn't have any option  . |
Well if the FIA ran sensible flag rules like stationary yellow they would have had enough warning before the corner to have been able reduce speed...
