F1 Singapore GP: Ferrari call for penalty over Sergio Perez’s ‘two' Safety Car infringements
Ferrari F1 team boss Mattia Binotto said Red Bull’s should be punished for a Safety Car infringement during 🌊the Singapore Grand Prix.
Perez held off to win an 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:incident-packed wet-dry race in S𝓡ingapore ♍that featured two Safety Cars and three Virtual Safety Car periods.
But Perez’s second victory of the seas♋on is under threat, with the Mexican facing an investigation for failing to keep clo🌱se enough to the Safety Car before the race restarted.
Article 55ღ♚.10 of the F1 sporting regulations state that the leader must remain within 10 car lengths of the Safety Car.
Perez was also seen drawing his car alongside the Safety Car and gesticulating as he demanded the pace picked up amid concerns over his tyre temperatures in the tricky co💦nditions.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the race, Ferrari🍬 team principal Binotto said he believes Perez - who won the race by 7.5s - should be in line for a total 10-second time penalty.
“Very curious to see [the outcome 👍of the stewards’ hearing],” B൲inotto said. “There were two infringements behind Safety Cars, so it should be twice penalty, but we can only trust what they decide.
Binotto added: “The last time it ♌happened I think it was Giovinazzi in 2020, I think it was a five-second penalty. But it’s difficult to judge.
“We’ll leave it to the stewards but 𒈔hopefully it can change the final♏ result.”
In contrast, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner downplay🦹ed the incident, describing it as a “non-issue”.
“I think we can probably pull up over 🦩the last 10 years a whole bunch of precedents for this kind of thing,” he told Sky.
“Formation laps, Safety Car laps, drivers behind further down the queue. There’s so many precedenꦛts for this.&꧙nbsp;
“For us, really, it’s a non🙈-꧃issue. They asked us to close up, we closed up immediately.”
