[Roberto Olivetti]

I just got out of a race where the guy in pole position jumped the start so early that he was able to get far enough ahead that his drive through penalty on lap 2 was soon enough that he STILL came out in front of 2nd place, then went on to win the race. Was he the fastest on the server? Yes. Was he the best racer on the server? Impossible to tell, right? His mistake should have forced him to get by my defense, in my opinion (I ended up in 3rd). Had I been in the same situation I would have taken the drive through and come out behind everyone else as a stupid tax. At the very least behind the podium slots.
I don't want to file a protest against him because it isn't like he drove out of pit lane into people and caused accidents... he was just playing by the rules here and on the server. Mostly I just don't like that a jump start penalty isn't good enough to prevent an uncontested 1st place finish, is all.

Hi Russell, I chime in because I was watching the yt live stream of the race. I think that what happened in this race is a corner case, infact during the second lap, when the jump-start driver still had to serve the penalty, 2 cars in the first positions had a crash and this made the little group of followers lose quite some seconds. When the driver in p1 left the pits after clearing the penalty, he found himself 0.7 seconds ahead of the car in p2. I'm pretty sure that without the wreck between the other cars, he would have left the pits in a position between 3 and 5.
