JONATHAN NOBLE: "The FIA regulations on restarts from red flags are clear that it will resume behind the safety car.
"However, it is still to be clarified whether the order will be how they started, or how they were when the race was red flagged.
"Article 41.3 of F1's Sporting Regulations states: 'In all cases the order will be taken at the last point at which it was possible to determine the
position of all cars. All such cars will then be permitted to resume the race.'
"That is normally taken at the start of the lap when the red flag came out."

There's the confirmation. "Guardrail repair is necessary, next update in 15 minutes" says race control.
EDD STRAW: "There were some big winners on that start. McLaren turned third and fifth on the grid to second and third with Button and Magnussen. And while it was bad for one Williams, Bottas jumped from 14th up to ninth."
Remember, just because it is an unusual place for there to be a crash does not mean evaluating barrier damage can be fast-tracked.
It's damaged because a car has hit it, so obviously it can happen again.
