The 'reason' for lapped cars having to overtake and unlap themselves is to do with the transponders which 'mess up' if there were to drop back down the field ie they will show them on the incorrect lap. It's amazing that with all the technology they have, they cannot press a button and put the drivers back on the same lap as the leaders.
