Ughhh. Just a terrible way to lose a race (although Ferrari has a serious driver issue with Vettel IMO). F1 really needs to clean up the safety car / VSC rules. Another race lost, like the British GP, because of poor rules for safety car/VSC.

The pits need to be closed until the field is bunched and/or the safety car picks up the lead car. You shouldn't gain an advantage based on luck IMO. You can't pass under yellow flags but you can gain a huge advantage if the VSC goes green and you're entering a straight vs a chicane or if your at pit entrance as it gets called.

Back to Ferrari...that is what, 3 races now, where they should've won if it wasn't for reliability (Bahrain, Baku, Russia) and at least 2 where they lost cause of other issues (Canada & Vettel, Austria & Leclerc just running out of tires, too many too count because of poor strategy/execution)?? Could have been a really different season.
