IndyCar safety

Yesterday at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis we saw several safety issues. I saw flashes of Las Vegas 2011 at the race start, and the restart was even more dangerous than Power's at St Pete 2014. IndyCar must recognize the issues, tackle them and solve them.

Saavedra and Montoya stalled. That happens, even in major championships. He raised the hands. The problem was that the race was started anyway, and that shouldn't happen. See this start at the GP3 race 1 yesterday:

As soon as the driver stalled, the flaggers showed yellow in two different sport. In seconds, dozens of flags were waved, the lights started flashing red and nobody moved. That's what should happen.

In the IndyCar race there were several flaggers. One in the midpack waved yellow for a second, then stopped. The one closest to Saavedra did wave cosntantly. The rest of the flaggers didn't move at all. That shouldn't happen.

Then at the restarts, there were like 1 meter between cars. How does anyone expect them to make turn 1 so close to each other? Cars must be separated by 6-8 meters before the green flag is waved.
