Look at car 5, was 14th before everyone stopped, 11th once everyone had stopped on Lap 14. Whincup was only in the lead on L14 because he passed the safety car and was able to get back to the start finish line and beat SM and SVG out of the pits. LH was doing 80 km/h behind the SC and never had a chance to get back and beat those guys out of the pits.

What you said SHOULD have happened. JW and LH should have been in the lead without the poor deployment of the SC.

Before the SC JW/ LH were about 55s behind of SM/SVG. The SC deployed into the gap between Those two groups. It slowed down LH/JW and allowed SVG/SM to get in and out of the pits without losing position.

If LH had been the leader than getting waved around would put him almost a lap ahead. But it didn’t, his position didn’t change when we was waved around did it?
When LH was first car behind the SC he was in 11th and almost a lap down on JW/SVG/SM. He was waved through to get the pack in order.

JW muddied the waters slightly by passing the SC. Without this he would have restarted 10th, 1 spot in front of LH.
JW passing the SC did not effect the way the SC deployed or the fact that SM/SVG got huge gains under the SC.
Spot on!

They did a terrible job of explaining this in the telecast, even after the race when they had the time
