thats not why we have safety cars, or at least very rarely is that the reason.
James Courtneys car was parked on the side of the pit entry on the weekend, It was perfectly safe to race on with waving yellows, however to move the car and allow the race to go back to normal racing conditions , people needed to go back on the track, Once the field was brought under the control of the safety car then they allow people to go on the track. that is the system we have
It remains much more dangerous in pitlane which is why we have 40km/h
By the way, your system just changed the race results in sunday's race significantly, as some cars had pitted before the yellow flag and others hadnt,
