Very strange.

2005 F1 Sporting Regulations, 15 December 2004, Article 149 i)
While the safety car is in operation, competing cars may enter the pit lane, but may only rejoin the
track when the green light at the end of the pit lane is on. It will be on at all times except when the
safety car and the line of cars following it are about to pass or are passing the pit exit .

Are McLaren saying that they only read the Sporting Regulations once every 2 years?

It seems that that rule already existed in 2001, as a number of drivers have been disqualified for exiting the pit lane under a red light in 2001 and 2001.
