Yellow flag

What I'd like to see are transponder pickup points in about three to four places on the track, so if you get woefully out of shape, get passed by half a dozen cars, and then have the caution come out for your parts, you don't get back into the lead of a race you were well-back in at the time of the caution.
I don't agree that if your part brings out the yellow you MUST go to the rear, as I can see the chance for someone else's rough driving victimizing a car ahead of him unfairly. But when a guy on his own loses positions and parts, it feels like a punishable circumstance to me--at least insofar as him having to accept the position-loss that he earned fair-and-square.
(I'd like to presume that I'd think this even if the car in question wasn't driven by an unpopular driver...)
