The order of events (from reviewing video)
Gasly slows - yellow flag sector 18
Clear
Chequered flag
Yellow flag sector 20
Ocon crosses the line (passed the marshal post before flag shown)
Then, the following drivers pass the yellow flag.
Vettel - slowed
Norris - slowed
Alonso - slowed
Bottas -didn't slow
Sainz - slowed (but only marginally, and some debate over whether this was from being slow out of the corner)
Flag changes to double yellow
Verstappen - didn't slow
And for those querying the 'green light' on the right hand edge of the track. It is in the pitlane, not trackside and is not visible from drivers'-eye level.
