"So does that mean he is going to lose his grid position?" Brad asked on behalf of the viewers.
"Well, he is safe so long as he gets moving before the last person on the grid passes him. If he manages to do that, then he can overtake the other drivers to reclaim his position. But if the last driver passes him before that, then per regulations, he can't overtake them and has to start at the back of the grid," he said, immediately breaking down the regulations for this specific kind of situation.
"And what if he overtakes them despite being passed by everyone?"
"A ten-second stop-and-go penalty will be issued to the driver. But it looks like it is not something he has to worry about, as he manages to get moving with more than three cars still behind him. So now he can overtake and keep his tires warm, while it looks like Fatih is way ahead of everyone, and the gap is quite big."
