So, to sum up, the marshals who ought to have attended were prevented from doing so safely by an organising decision, albeit one that is understandable. However, we're always told not to relax until the circuit is clear, so perhaps this decision needs reviewing?
The marshal crossing the track is faced with an unenviable decision. The car is on fire, the marshals over there can't get to it. He was very hesitant and clearly watching carefully, and appeared aware of the consequences. I'd say he couldn't win whatever he did (imagine the "where were the marshals?" threads if he hadn't attended) and managed the impossible choice with as much care as possible. What it highlights is that once again, GP organizers have no idea about marshalling and make the job unnecesarily difficult before either exposing the marshals to criticism, or worse, doing it themselves.
