It's easy to argue in hindsight, but I think the double yellows that were waved should be a sufficient way to handle that 'zone'. Double yellows, as far as I understand, means 'drive slow and be, if necessary, ready to stop'. Now I also understand that the cars now days are proportionally more difficult to drive under low speeds because they are much more reliant on downforce vs. mechanical grip - to a degree. Perhaps the argument should be; "what is the recommended speed when double yellows are being waved"? I feel this should be the responsibility of the driver to make the right adjustments to his speeds. If visibility wasn't good enough to see the double yellow, than that of course poses a problem that needs to be solved and analysed.
As for the accident; On what tyres was Bianchi during his accident? Inters or full wets?
