Is this not the very idea of what inspired the likes of Russell to hang back.... knowing that they could make their break a little before Bottas and have speed onboard already to more than bridge the gap they created by dropping back.
Those that did that ie Russell created the whole issue with their action.

I think that those who tried that idea are now away / educated into the ramifications of that thought and wont try it again. Maybe the last line is a bit simplistic.... in which case mandate a maximum gap and penalise violations

Michael worked for TEGA and then AVESCO though, back when many of the existing rules came in so he was probably part of the group that came up with that rule. The race director doesn't make the rules for Supercars, they enforce the rules that Supercars writes.

But when does the 20th placed driver go full throttle? If the green flags / lights are not it, then what?

Well in this case, not when another car is in front of you and not out of your path. Basically the same as in a corner, it's not a hard point to figure out. You can't go where the other guy is regardless of flagging condition. It wasn't a matter of guys accelerating early but rather accelerating into other cars. Can't be a top driver if you can't not hit others. Only Pastor gets that crown.

Green flags / lights don't signal the actual restart - they simply indicate that the restart can happen. The actual point of the restart is set by the race leader - when the leader goes, all the others can commence racing again (broadly speaking).

In Supercars in Australia, and it has filtered down to lower classes as well, cars must keep to within 5 car lengths of the car in front so that combined with the weaving ban has reduced start straight incidents.

They should. Do away with that ridiculous no passing until the start line rule. Lead driver stays at SC pace until green lights/flags. and when they happen, go racing. Easy.

Fully aware of that thanks ole fella - works well too (other than for 1 team at Bathurst but let's not go there). Would be more complicated for F1 due to the reduced lap time / pace requirement under SC - would make something quite straightforward get very complicated (but then this IS F1).

Well it could certainly be spectacular - the last couple of corners in particular at some tracks could be pretty nuts. Would need a 2nd SC sitting at pit exit to collect the field again after the ensuing mess.
