Precisely – that’s why I credit them with 1 lap – so they are all on 42 and they are all in race right order and not interfering with the race for the podium.
My suggestion does not change the selection of cars – Those that are selected presently take about 3 laps to go round the track to get on the end of the line. In the example of COTD, The safety car is in front of Vettel, Perez was in front of him and if free to lap (at reduced speed) to catch up with the line of cars, later the cars selected to unlap can follow, led by di Resta, and 8 minutes later gets onto Perez’s tail (or not if they decide to restart before he has got there).
In my suggestion, the cars presently selected as “free to pass”, go into the PITs and are held. Once the line goes passed, with Perez at the back, Di Resta and the others can rejoin with 1 credited lap. and Voilà Di Resta is on the tail of Perez. There are issues about gaining fuel but they also have lost tyre temp. There are winners and losers in every safety car, but let the spectators win with 3 extra laps of racing.
