“The fact that a driver can see a green panel or flag ahead, does not mean that overtaking can occur in what is still a yellow flag zone. Overtaking can only occur after passing the green panel or flag. It was also noted that he did not make a sufficient reduction in speed.”

Fair enough, I guess.

F1TV went over it in the post-race show at around the 15 minute mark. The panel kept switching between yellow (or white) and green. Super confusing to me.

I agree, and mistakenly assumed they would give him a warning or announce something had malfunctioned with the panels. I don't know how anyone could say what colors were supposed to be followed when the boards were a mess and there were no flags being waived besides blue flags.

I saw no yellows at all.
