And, with hindsight, he was absolutely right.

I think it was in a British Touring Car race some years ago in which a similar thing happened — the pit exit was closed for some reason (possibly because the queue of cars was going past behind the SC), but the car at the front of those wanting to exit the pits stalled and blocked the exit for those behind. I don't especially want to see that happening in an F1 race!
