FIA evaluating need for changes after Imola marshal incident

An incident that occurred under the safety car period caused by the incidents with Max Verstappen and George Russell, the FIA's race control allowed six cars to unlap themselves while marshals were still on track clearing debris, with the last of those cars - Racing Point's Lance Stroll - approaching the scene at high speed having not been warned of their presence.

Having already gone past at slower speeds under yellow flag conditions, both Romain Grosjean and Sebastian Vettel radioed their engineers to warn of the "dangerous" situation with the marshals, but no such message was relayed to Racing Point or Stroll, leading to questions over race director Michael Masi and his team's handling of safety procedures.

On Tuesday, the FIA responded with a statement promising it is "evaluating" the incident.

“The safety of the marshals and trackside officials is of the highest priority for the FIA,” read the statement.

“Race control was made aware of the issue and is evaluating whether any changes can be made to the procedures currently in place to further protect the marshals and officials and minimise the likelihood of a reoccurrence in the future.”
