(GMM) The FIA is working on a 'fairer' safety car system, according to veteran F1 racer David Coulthard.
The Scot, 34, said he was stuck on the bad end of the rule in Shanghai, following one of two safety car periods.
''It caught me after it left the pit,'' Coulthard told the 'Daily Record' newspaper, ''so from sixth I ended up ninth.
''I could have been fourth.
''(Race director) Charlie Whiting called me a day or two later to gauge my opinion.''
The likely change to the rule would involve, in that scenario, Coulthard - and other racers - being waved through by the safety car until it found the race leaders.
