Perez restarts as 3rd.
That's fair, I think.
Yeh, it's good to not penalise teams for switching cars to the safer tire
Putting him in 5th or 6th would not be penalizing him for switching to a safer tire. That position was where he was when the red came out. Do you think drivers should not lose spots when they choose to go on to inters or wets?
Drivers like Alonso didn't pit because they thought it would get red flagged and they would therefore lose out by pitting, even though it was the safer (and probably faster) tire. Where possible, they shouldn't be penalising pitting for a safer tire. The 1 sector lookback gives a little protection to drivers that do pit - but there was some discussion on if Perez would end up restarting at the back because he got stuck in the pit lane - that for example would have been a stupid penalty on safety
Absolutely agree he shouldn't lose spots under red, but giving spots back to someone pitting under yellow is insane and a terrible president.
If someone's tires are worn it would be safer if they put on new tires, should they be given spots back?
Should the drivers have gotten their spots back when they pit for inters?
It's fair, but it's not the rules. FIA just making it up again.
Was a sector countback to the last sector before the red flag.
I'll never understand why they can count minisectors when it suits them but then randomly say "we have no way to determine the racing order" on a red flag.
Might just be that the rules were written before the microsectors were a thing?
Or maybe the full sector lines have better equipment - they have a line, so probably have cameras on them too.
Good question though, would be interesting to know the real answer.
