Does the safety rule about clearing the grid on time not apply if you're an Olympic sprinter, then?

I think the FIA Sporting Regulations say that if an Olympic sprinter is on the grid when the lights go out, only an Olympic sprinter will have the ability to smartly nip out of the way before being collected.

An official hurried him off the grid so the rule clearly does apply.

Probably would have been a better shot if he was in his proper running gear, rather than a t-shirt and jeans...

I thought it was all pretty cringey, but maybe it's just me.

Nope.... was cringey...

 

I kinda get it, in Italy, the home of speed, Italian Olympian in the fastest running race in the world... but I give it 0 stars for execution.... it looked like his manager decided with a minute to go it would make a cool shot....

Just as well he was wearing street clothes, or folks might have thought he was lost.

I had just turned on my stream and had no idea what was going on. My first thought was "interesting, so we'll see how an olympic sprinter compares to F1 cars"  :drunk:
