When does stop mean stop?

[Ed-f1]

BAR driver, Ricardo Zonta stopped his Honda powered machine on the side of the track during Friday's free practice session, however it wasn't due to a mechanical fault but rather for a more curious reason.

The Brazilian had spun off the circuit just moments before and managed quite well to put the BAR back on track, however just after he got going again, his engineer emphasised over the radio that he must come into the pits to have his car checked out.

Normally this wouldn't have been a problem as many drivers do just that after a spin, however Zonta was having a little trouble with his radio communication and was unable to hear the instruction clearly, so the engineer repeated the request loudly.

"You must stop, you must stop." So the Brazilian did what he was told immediately and pulled off onto the grass and ... stopped.
