There were conflicting positions between the Ferrari and Red Bull teams that compete in the Formula One World Championship, and also after the end of the race in Singapore with Red Bull Racing’s Sergio Pérez winning by about 7 seconds over Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Ferrari president Mattia Binotto confirmed that he had been assured that the FIA would impose a fine of around 10 seconds on Pérez for violating the conditions imposed while the safety car was on the track. On Pérez, given that there have been many such cases in racing over the past decade, and therefore this question poses no danger to the team, he justified his act by citing the safety car driver’s very slow driving, while Pérez needed warmer temperatures for his tires, and he did. what he had to do to keep it warm.
Notably, the FIA is still investigating to decide whether or not to fine Perez.
