Nothing more was said as he cruised round, but just before the end of the lap he was told to stop in a safe place – obliging him to make his way to the podium by foot.
His was not the only car to be parked at trackside. Williams drivers George Russell and Nicholas Latifi also received urgent calls to stop, and both did so just after crossing the line.
Then winner Ocon missed the pit entry at the end of his celebratory lap and went sailing past the pits a second time. He soon stopped, and returned to the podium on foot.
As ever, Bauer was taking note. The cars of Vettel, Russell and Latifi were all immediately earmarked for fuel sample checks on the basis that because they stopped on track, they might be marginal on that crucial litre.
Bauer was not concerned about Ocon – the Frenchman had completed his in-lap and by mistake a little more too, and hadn't been given the telltale urgent call from the team to stop first time round.
The sampling procedure involves the fuel being pumped out, with the help of the team, in the FIA scrutineering garage. The cars of Russell and Latifi provided the all-important litre, but Vettel's did not – only 30% of the required amount could be retrieved, despite the best efforts of the mechanics.
