Unsafe release is when the team releases the car from the pit box while cutting the path of another car who is forced to brake or slow down from the pit lane in order to avoid crash.ripper wrote:Alonso pit stop and small collision with a Force India wasn't an unsafe release?

So releasing car side by side is never a unsafe release and on some tracks drivers can drive alongside all of the way, while on other tracks one of the drivers will need to back off in order to make the pit exit.
Its a bit gray area like most F1 stuff but its the best way I can explain it
