Hmmm would have thought the pit crew would have a starter for when a car
stalls during the pitstop, like in real life.
I'm quite prepared to accept I'm out of the race if I stall out on the
track, but it's annoying when it happens in the middle of a full gp and
you're sat in the pits

I don't know about current cars, but back in the 80s they had a starter
driven off a little air bottle.  It was part of the regs that the car
nominally had to have a starter and a reverse gear, neither of which were
particularly dependable.  Turning over a high compression motor with a
little bottle of compressed air isn't too easy, and hoping it fires up is
wishful thinking.  However, when Gilles Villeneuve trashed his Ferrari at
Zandvoort, the race reports say he stabbed the starter button a few times,
got it going, then three-wheeled it back to the pits, dangling the rear
suspension behind him.

In F1-2001 I have not found a way to restart.

Same applies if its downhill (backwards), just use reverse instead of 1st.

I hope the above makes sense, it works for me (but you do have to be rolling
at least a few km/h), you cant be stationary.
