I don't think he was moaning about the safety car itself, he was moaning about the speed of the driver. They have to try and maintain a certain speed to keep tyre temperature and pressure. The driver's are encouraged to report back of any potential problems, and there were other messages besides Lewis reporting of the same problem.

How long do we have to wait before the FIA issue the ban on Vettel..

He'll take some stick at the British GP...

Yes Kevin Magnussen and Carlos Sainz also said the safety car was too slow.

Vettel was given 3 points on his licence as well as the stop-go penalty. That's him on 9 points now so he will need to be careful.

How many points does Vettel have to have before his is banned?
Hope the points are transferable to his normal driving licence! too!! German autobahns would be a lot safer without him!!

5 place grid penalty for Hamilton at the Austrian GP for his team having to change the gearbox.

Vetel's still in accute pain after having his wrists slapped

Bottas on pole, Vettel starts along side him. Hamilton at P8

Bottas wins, Vettel 2nd and Hamilton gets up to 4th.

The British Drivers' Racing Club and Silverstone have triggered their two-year break clause with Formula 1. It means that without a new agreement, the last British Grand Prix at the circuit would be 2019.

The British GP is the best attended but still makes a loss. All the other GP's are backed financially by their governments.
