I think given it's location they should have gone to VSC much sooner. Some interesting drama (penalties) around penalties for passing under yellow. Big celebration for Zhou even though he finished effectively at the rear. I wonder if this might be his first and last race in an F1 car at that circuit?

It is absolutely ridiculous that some drivers of what is claimed to be the pinnacle of motor racing still commit rookie errors such as overtaking when under yellow flag conditions, and one also overtook during the safety car.
I think that it is long past the time when the penalties for these type of driving infringements where far more seriously increased. There really is no excuse for that type of driving and it needs to be severely dealt with not just a slap on the wrist which is what was applied today, a mere 10 seconds added to their time with two points on their licence.
