As long as the driver and the car can get back to the pits on their own, I think yes. When crashing out you'd likely need external help to get back to the pit lane, so I'm pretty sure you'd be out for good then.

Yeah I'd always assumed 'external help' would be the dealbreaker, but I checked the onboard and you can see they jack the car up on to the 'skateboard' to move it back in to the garage (00:37 on F1TV feed). Perhaps it's external powered help, I guess that would get around cars being pushed back by marshals too.

team can help. I think the "skateboard" is not considered different than the jacks, or even wheel guns for that matter. The Team is allowed to use tools on their vehicle during a pit-stop.

If marshals help, you're out.
