I gather from grandprix.com that Liuzzi's suspension prevented any possibility of him continuing.

Although the gods seemed determined that Hamilton's run of podiums should end at this race, it also seemed that the FIA were determined he should get every opportunity to keep the run going... To allow him to pass the safety car and catch up with the pack is one thing - it's in the new rules after all - but to allow a crane to lift him back onto the circuit surely shouldn't be allowed. I know Michael Schumacher got a little push from the marshalls a few years ago, and I seem to recall that got a bit of bad publicity at the time as being unsporting - but that was nothing compared to the helping hand Lewis got yesterday! If that had been a Spyker or Toro Rosso, would they have been allowed to continue? It was an amazing weekend to watch – you forgot the fact that he had flu in the run-up as well!
