So far only been Ferrari and Alonso been whining that he should be disqualified or drop 10 grid position or something severe because the Scuderia "followed" the rules.
Christian Horner didn't agree with Alonso's comments.
Quote:
"I think the Safety Car rules have not played out for Ferrari, and McLaren was perhaps a bit naughty with the way it worked it, but it got a penalty for that.
"Arguably it didn't cost them, but that's just the way it worked out. I don't think it was manipulated."
He added: "The FIA just need to look at the Safety Car rules in the future."

McLaren (LH) did a calculated risk, and lucky enough to have Kobayashi to hold up the field.
For the Scuderia themselves, they will need to look again at their pit strategy when safety car deployed. To me seems "stacking" two cars is wasting time and cost them valuable track position.
