I'm also surprised that the decision wasn't to do another green flag lap to form the cars up correctly, they were already in the correct order bar the one that needed to go further up the front. Drivers know how to do this stuff and were hardly likely to collide - it would have been controlled by the startline marshals perfectly safely.
If the teams were concerned about fuel drop a lap from the race distance - surely that has to be better than taking 20 minutes with all the drivers sitting on the grid?
There will always be protests and issues of this nature, that's why we have a judicial system in motorsport, it's up to the organisers etc. to manage it at the time - it's not really fair to blame the team - they exercised their right to appeal as competitors do week in week out.
The TV crew near Happy Snapper were going ballistic as they were cutting into live satellite time - not happy bunnies at all.
