Poll: Singapore Grand Prix 2022, Marina Bay Street Circuit - Race 17

[Emlyn_Dewar]

5 place penalty for Latifi at the next race, so not really a penalty at all, given where he'll qualify anyway.

Brilliant race from Perez who controlled it throughout the difficult safety car periods, it will be a shame if he gets a ten second penalty. There were mistakes all round from the top drivers. Easily a 9...

Well done to Pérez, well driven indeed. But both infringements seem shame dunk to me. Poor show from the stewards not to make a ruling until after the race.

What were his infringements? Sorry I was only half watching in between lugging a mattress up into our loft and getting a stew in for tonight! (Safety car infringement doesn’t really describe it?)

Twice he slowed and left more than ten car lengths. Really blatantly.

 

[cuke2u]

Is there a precedent for a 10 second penalty for being more than 10 car lengths for the safety car though, if he indeed was? I can't see him recieving any penalty for waving his hand at the safety car. Maybe just a warning perhaps...

Where penalised, it's 5s, but he did it twice. There doesn't seem to be anything about the hand waving incident.

 

[cuke2u]

OK, I've only seen the one on the SkyF1 website. From what I hear Perez was told to close up to the safety car and he complied..

 

[Bug One]

If that rule was so tightly applied, I bet you could go back over previous races and find loads of minor infringements like this. To get two penalties would be so unfair.

It's common for the lead driver to slip back a length or two and quickly recover that distance, Pérez fell way further back than that and didn't appear to make any real effort not to, or to recover it when he failed. It's not really the same thing.

Maybe the first one. The second he was up with the safety car before the safety car ended, so doesn't effect the restart.

 

[cuke2u]

Doesn't bode well that it's taking this long..

 

[MissChief]

Over two hours later and we still have no idea who won. Faintly ridiculous.

 

[Flibster]

Perez wins.

Reprimand, 5 second penalty and 2 penalty points. Convenient. Took them over 2 hours to come up with a decision that doesn't affect the result.

 

[cuke2u]

Fair enough, keeps the win..

 

[Stumble Bum]

Sounds pretty fair.

 

[andy_mk3]

It's a pity LEC couldn't keep within 5 seconds for those last few laps.

 

[Psycho Ned]

It's a pity LEC couldn't keep within 5 seconds for those last few laps.

If he had of done they’d have given out 2 reprimands

 

[Locky]

I knew the FIA would bottle it. RB must have something on a senior FIA executive..

 

[Flibster]

It's a pity LEC couldn't keep within 5 seconds for those last few laps.

Then it would have been 2 reprimands and a fine.
