Heres how we figure it,
Cars that crashed on top of the hill and stopped before the finish line were:
Fogg
Bargs
Bristow
Edgell
Richards
Short
Evans
Manuell who was on wets made it thru all the carnage (slowly) and crossed over the finish line (thus completing 9 laps) then the red flag came out straight behind him and all remaining competitors that were still mobile, managed to stop before the start/finish line.
Therefore Manuell had done 9 laps when the red came out, all other competitors had only done 8
Count back rule applies to the start of the lap and since Manuell was the only car to do 9 laps . . . bingo.
Technically it is correct.
The crash was so close to the start/finish the delay was inevitable. If the crashes had happened back at the hairpin then the results would have gone back to the start of lap 8 (assuming of course again that no one made it over the start/finish before the red.).
