Vettel over took on warm up lap??

[alancovkid]

Just seen the race and saw Vettel pass Nico on the start of the warm up lap

thought this was against the rules, fairly sure in the past drivers have had stop go or drive through for the same thing.

have the changed the rules?

thanks

During the formation lap no practice starts are allowed. Overtaking is also forbidden unless passing a car that has slowed due to a technical problem. Passed cars may in turn re-overtake in order to regain their grid position if the problem is resolved during the course of the formation lap.

However, any driver who is still on the grid when all other cars have moved off on the formation lap, but then subsequently gets away, may not re-pass cars to regain his grid position, but must instead start from the back.

Didn't see the warm up lap though.

Rosberg was just slow off the grid. Vettel allowed him back prior to the first corner. Totally legit.
