What needs to be reconsidered is extending the zone for waved yellows such that a hazard needs to be much further than a couple of feet past a marshal station before he goes from double waved yellows to waved green.

But the drivers reaction to the early marshal stand(corner entry), is what Jules should have heeded to. He clearly went into the corner with way too much speed. Post 12 was well into the corner and would not have factored into his entry speed. Also take into account the bright flashing LED track lights and cockpit yellow lights. I don't think the marshal in post 12 had anything to do with Jules carrying too much speed into the corner, especially considering the weather conditions and yellow lights flashing. This very well could be just a driver over driving for the current weather conditions. I believe the speed at which he hit the tractor is very telling, unless he had some sort of mechanical failure.
