Davidson érdekes dologra világ rá: hogy Le Mans-ban sem azt jelenti a kék zászló, amit sokan véltek, hogy jelent.
Na és azt, hogy ő nem kapott csapatutasítást, hogy tartsa fel az Audit. Persze ő eleve azt mondja, hogy a saját helyéért küzdött és mivel a kék zászló nem jelenti azt, hogy kötelező elengedni a gyorsabbat, így jó móka volt az Audival csatázni. :)

"Let's just get one thing straight," Davidson told AUTOSPORT. "I never received one team order whatsoever. All of that is just a whole load of BS in my opinion. I can't speak for other drivers.
"I didn't see any of it on-screen at the time but I wasn't told to do anything. I took my own initiative, as I know in sportscar racing now that the blue flags don't mean anything. And the Audi drivers happily held me up at Spa and I accept that because it seems to be part of the rule in endurance racing. So I had great fun playing with the Audi.
[...]
"So it is a shame that Peugeot's efforts were tarnished with those comments, because it really wasn't like that at all. As drivers we just drove our hearts out, you don't have to yield under a blue flag in these races - which I think is a bit wrong and I have been on the other end of it myself a whole load of times. Particularly last year. But it is part and parcel of endurance racing apparently."
Vagyis nem kell feladni a pozíciót! Ugyanaz a szabály, mint az IndyCarban.
És van is benne logika: ha elég gyors vagy, nem lehet probléma megelőzni a lekörözött versenyzőt, akinek ugyanolyan joga van versenyezni, mint bárkinek.
