Celebrate wins, eroticize losses

Also do marshals get a say in fees and stuff related to their safety? Like as a union or a collective or something similar

getting the car off as fast and easily as possible doesnt fall under convenience but safety-- drivers speed and crash under yellow/red flag conditions. safety in motorsports is about minimizing risk, and the easiest way to minimize risk for marshals is to limit the amount of time on a hot track. the removal below is not an ideal intervention-- like i said, safety in motorsports is about minimizing risk.... so you need to limit the amount of people trackside as much as possible-- but think about the time difference for the people below between pushing a car through that gap in the walls photographed vs getting a crane operator out, hooking up the car and slowly navigating it off the track. the button helps by both putting the car in neutral for ease of movement along with cutting off the hybrid to prevent electrocution.

i am assuming your second question is coming from a f1 perspective. the fia is primarily a sanctioning body made up of member clubs around the world. in each country, a member club acts as a liaison between domestic auto racing and the fia... this is considered the national sporting authority. the national sporting authority supports any fia world championship events within the country. they assist the fia with planning, logistics and execution by working with the local promoters, along with supporting on safety protocols and technical regulations. i don't volunteer directly through the fia but my national sporting authority. in fact, race control isnt the same every single f1 race-- instead, key positions are done by the national sporting authority for the country they're racing in... for example, the voice i communicate with on the radio is from my national sporting authority (and usually at indycar races too!).

in the us my national sporting authority is accus, which is an umbrella organization consisting of multiple US auto racing sanctioning bodies like indycar and nascar. i am licensed and credentialed through two of these bodies. as a result, accus recognizes that im a fully capable race official and has given me a license to marshal their events as well. while the fia does the rules and regulations, most of the trackside experience is determined by the grand prix's country's national sporting authority in tandem with race promoters (the actual organization running a race, like south florida motorsports with the mgp and cota with the usgp): for example, azerbaijan doesn't require any prior racing experience for citizens and will cover your hotel while you need a decade of experience to barely get lunch at the british grand prix. its whatever they decide they need to do in order to meet the fia's standards (and why the quality and techniques of marshaling can differ so extensively, even within the same country).
