That’s 2 laps in a row now where Hamilton has eaten into Verstappen’s Lead at the start of the lap.

Is Perez going to get a penalty, it looks like he lost positions to Charles and Daniel.
Surprised race control isn’t all over that. Surely it needs sorting before the safety car ended?
Well, they listened ;)

Hamilton eating into the lead a bit. Wonder if they will change the nose when he comes in?

Also it seems very cynical the way RBR have gone about the Perez incident. Probably calculating he will lose out less by not giving the places back.

Why didn’t RBR tell Perez to concede position...?

They did eventually! It must have been simpler for them to act sooner and tell RBR to give those places back than wait and look at it now.

Good sensible team play from McLaren- that could reward them later down the line to be picking up any pieces that come their way.

So by not giving the positions back, Perez is now far enough ahead that his penalty won’t cost him any positions. There’s something very wrong there.

I thought Perez’s penalty had to be served within 3 laps?

Well Norris was right that he was faster- 5 seconds up on Ricciardo already. Boom !

It's strange... the first overlay mentioned a stop/go 10 seconds penalty. Isn't that a drive through with stop and go and not touching the car?

Exactly he would've lost more than 10 seconds stuck behind the two McLarens in these conditions, the penalty clearly doesn't suit the crime.
