Pit Exit Lights

[Sheila M]

I would be interested in views from drivers as to what they prefer to see in the way of lights/flags at pit lane exits, both during qualifying and races. The problem I have is that we are generally short of experienced marshals to run red and green lights and frequently have to go with flashing ambers.

As drivers, would you prefer a marshal to operate the lights so that you only go when the green light shows (bearing in mind that during a race you may lose a few positions if there is no safe gap to get you into) or would you prefer there to be someone at the exit to wave a blue flag to warn you that there is oncoming traffic?

Alternatively, are you happy to run with flashing ambers, which basically means "yes you can leave the pit lane but please be careful something might be coming but there's no-one around to tell you"?
