The FIA addressed confusion surrounding the late deployment of a safety car during the British Grand Prix, clarifying that the decision adhered to regulations.The incident occurred when Max Verstappen spun at Turn 15, prompting the safety car's introduction.

As the race leader Charles Leclerc and other drivers were caught behind the Mercedes-AMG car, race control ordered lapped cars to unlap themselves before the final lap.However, an erroneous 'Safety Car Ending' message led drivers to expect a green flag finish.The FIA later explained that a software error caused the incorrect display, emphasizing Regulation B5.13.5, which mandates one full lap after the unlapping procedure before resuming the race.This clarification aimed to resolve the confusion and ensure compliance with safety protocols.
