These aren't international drivers they are a mix of gentleman drivers and pros. Both of these drivers were gentleman. Also with 2 drivers getting in and out of the car during a session if the yellow flag is removed how would the new driver know about the incident. The entry to that corner is over 100mph so a small mistake because a big one quickly.
That's the point, either he's been misquoted or somethin, as ASP said the marshals he would be talking too wouldn't have the authority/be in a position to say yes OR no for a red flag. More likely what happened was that the marshals heard over the scanner that a red flag may or may have been requested and had been declined. Either way the version of events put forward by the article CANNOT have happened...those marshals aren't in a position to say NO to a red flag request
