In the past there's been restarts where the guy eventually taking the chequered flag isn't actually the winner. This is maybe partly the reason lapped cars can unlap themselves. Also they probably see the carnage from Indycar and feel a rolling start is safer.
Michael Massie was considering a standing start today like we had in Monza, but was worried that the barriers hadn't been completely repaired to the same standard -keeping in mind the rainy conditions and the fact the crash was at the fastest part of the track. Perhaps the history of the track played a part in choosing a rolling start.
