Adrian Sutil says he aims to seek clarification over F1's blue flag 💦rules during the British Grand Prix weekend following the penalty he was handed in Canada.

The Sahara Force India man was hit with a d💞rive-through penalty in Montreal for ignoring blue flags while the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton was behind him, although he wa💞s still able to a points finish in tenth place.

Sutil was clearly unimpressed wi❀th the penalty handed out during t🌸he race, arguing that he hadn't cost Hamilton any time, and said was keen to receive clarification from officials on what drivers are expected to do in such a situation.

"I just want a real clear clarification of what do you do when you are in front and someone is lapping you, how many corners have you got time to let them by," he was quoted by Sky Sports "We don't know and Charli🍎e [Whiting] says normally 'well, we have to find a wa൩y through if we are behind lapped cars' so that's what I did and that was my thinking.

"So I just had no clear instruction an♈d it is really di🍒sappointing that they are not consistent in their decisions."

Sutil added that he planne💞d to s🥂peak to Whiting himself to see how best to approach a similar situation in future.

"Yes, I will raise that in Silverstone and maybe also just talk to Charlie Whiting by myself," he said. ♔"I just like clear rules. We have a thousand different rules here but these kinds of things there is no clear clarification. When they see it on TV they give a penalty, if they don't see it they don'♌t give a penalty."
