Perez has been given a 5 second time penalty and 2 penalty points on his license. It has been noted that 3 separate breaches occurred. The first on lap 10 has not been punished. The team warned Perez about this after being advised by the stewards.. The second offence on lap 36 was given an immediate warning by the race director. The third time was half a lap later, and was given a 5 second penalty.
Interestingly, this is what the Formula 3 stewards had to say about it. Quote:

The real question is whether or not any jewellery was involved.

Maybe Perez provided a Dr's note regarding why he was unable to follow within 10 car lengths?

Great win from Checo. Didn't really see what he did on the restart, but either way, he did enough to win it. Quite a poor weekend by Max's standards, that fuel problem in Quali really seemed to put him on the back foot. That move on Norris though was never going to work
Ferrari managed to have a decent race, good chase of Perez by Leclerc. Good 5th by Danny, he obviously made good timing with his change to slicks. Still needs to find more pace though. Good 6th from Stroll. Hamilton was doing so well, then he let things slip. Russell didn't seem to have the pace this weekend. Maybe changed to slicks a little too early, but he had nothing to lose Plenty of on the edge driving in the rain, meaning we got to see plenty of slides and the odd incident |

Disclaimer - I watched the channel 4 highlights and not the full race
Were the race directors again lethargic and slow in making decisions re safety car's and VSC's etc? It seemed that some instances it took a long time for them to pull the trigger despite the immediate and very obvious need in a few instances? This seems to be a bit of a recurring theme this season. To cap it off, unless the highlights were portraying things wrongly, did they end the VSC BEFORE the marshals had extracted the Williams front wing from underneath the armco, or was this just dodgy editing of the footage shown by channel 4?

Ahh that confused me and also the commentators. What happened to "Replay" caption I wonder, or perhaps it was there but the malaise of the soporific race had set in by that point.

Nowhere else to post this, but I have been using the F1 app all this season. At least I am not force to login to it each time I open it. It is more like the experience of most all other streaming services (Netflix, etc.) in that you login and you are good. But about 1/3rd of the way through the race I discovered that if I were to try to switch to any driver specific onboard, or maybe the data channel, that it would bounce me back to the start of the race. I eventually gave up and just watched the main channel.
I have noticed on occasion that the F1 App is... less than stable. I have had a crash a few times (less so recently). If anyone is curious, I am watching this via an Nvidia Shield Pro (Android TV F1 App) in my home theater setup that I use for all TV viewing. Is anyone else seeing issues like this? Richard |

hot take i suppose but the race would have been more interesting if they didnt use the VSCs in favour of SCs and bunched the field up every time there was an off.
obviously this eliminates the 'fairness' and erodes the lead the front runners have earned but its difficult to dismiss the excitement of restarts/mid race resets. |

It seems the VSC is too analyse the issue and then they deply SC if they need marshals on the ground to remove cars or debries. I think the idea is under VSC cars are in different parts of the track and whilst you need a delta of 40% of a green lap, drivers can chose to do this by averaging the speed over a section - as in go faster and then slow a lot to make the delta. Under SC the Safety car bunches the field and can dictate the speed through the area where marshalls are working. I know the process is long and not ideal butrather this than another freak accident where someone gets injured and then we shout on social media how did FIA and F1 allow for that to happen

What if a VSC limited the leader, but allowed the rest of the field to bunch up behind them?

A VSC attempts to maintain the gaps between cars, so that it does not take away an advantage a competitor has built up. A SC is used when marshals need a gap in traffic to work in, or if the cars need to be taken an alternate route (through a pit lane, over a run off), or if you're going to have a lot of vehicles on track etc. Neither of these are perfect. But I have no issue with how they used them in Singapore. I do think F1 needs to change its overly complicated VSC implementation to be a speed limiter like literally every other series uses for a similar setup. Code 60. You go at 60mph. Not 20mph then 100mph. You go 60. Drivers should not be allowed to fanny around under a neutralised track in order to maybe gain an advantage. A VSC is a safety procedure, not one thrown in to make the race more exciting, and allowing cars to speed up and slow down like they currently do makes it more dangerous for the exposed safety team on track. |

I'd far rather work under the FCY, or in the case of Le Mans/WEC the Slow Zone (which amounts to the same thing but is in a sector) than under a VSC. Even being on track with a full SC can be bloody scary as people hurtle round to catch the train, making the excuse that "I was 0.1s slower on that lap". Not Invented Here syndrome is strong in F1. |

I'm happy with the VSC. It's better than too many SCs. Gets a minor incident sorted out with the minimum of delay
