this doesn't make sense for me !
sounds like comparing appels and oranges...
if i cross the line and see a chequered, when th erace was stopped due to a red flag, i get my place as i crossed the line.
so its just to punish the cause of the red not to get a result.
how could i at the same scenario get someone his place who does not see the chequer ?
makes no sense to me...
its either one or the other !
