The thing is though, do we really want cars to be able to pass in this situation, exciting for tv maybe, but the car behind has already got the advantage of closing up to the car in front because of the safety car. does it need some other advantage just because it got its foot down a microsecond before the car in front.
Also the less opportunitys for overlap on a restart the more likely they will get through the first corner

I think it was the drivers who were having the whinge about Winton more so than the fans.
But your last point is a good one. Anyway, it was just a theoretical discussion point out of interest.
