Hungaroring Recovery

Can anyone tell me more about this one please??

I speak of the F1 recovery that occurred early race, drivers right near the Bridgestone Bridge.

The car was not particularly safe...but then a recovery veh or FIV of some sort seemed to be there as well for a number of laps and obviously (?) reverse-towed it back around the track to a safe position (?)

I'm not a huge fan of the safety car but this recovery probably should have been covered by one (?).

What do others think??

PS well done to the Marshal on Blue at the start of the straight...impossible to say "I didn't see it!" - lovely big slow up and downs - classic!!

I thought it was a good call. I was expecting a safety car due to the super aguri's angle, but the responce was interesting and worked. It just needed to get the F1car along side the fence. I assume the intervention car was left there for that many laps to warm drivers of the car being there. Atleast plenty of yellows covering it. And no SC intervention.

OK...safe/unsafe is always up for debate...not into that, just would like to know the SoE (if possible)...the telly coverage was fractured.

Don't forget that the FIA have a way to radio to all teams and tell them of a problem... (ie car standed turn four exit keep wide) So IMO no need for safety car was a GOOD CALL

Thanks roys1...unfortunately, the vagaries of radio communication does nothing to avoid an accident caused by an out of control car or collateral caused by a shunt near the recovery operation....the recovery situation was a dangerous one, I'm just interested in how the recovery was effected, but it looks like no one who was intimately involved is on this board...thanks anyway

It looked like the incedent car was parked behind armco on the inside of Turn 1 (when watchin a replay of the start), as i'd wondered how far round the track it had come. So I think it had only gone something like 100 yards or so.

Still surprised there was no incedent marshals on that inside of turn 1 who could have delt with it.

I'm not surprised there was no incident marshals, not with the hill there and virtually no escape room (although it looked like Ant was left there for the rest of the race or someone was standing there later?)

Since Ant was interviewed on TV later during the race, I'd suggest it was a security bod, making sure nobody nicked bits off the car, which was still parked up against the armco.
As to how the recovery was done, I thought I saw one guy lifting the nose to spin it round a bit and then they tugged it back with the intervention car?
