Safety Car

A safety car or pace car is a car which limits the speed of the cars on the track when the track is under caution conditions. The safety car is driven by a professional safety car driver, which is currently Bernd Mayländer.
==Procedure==
===Safety Car===
If an incident takes place on track, yellow flags may be put out for that sector or turn. However, if the incident may block the track, or leaves a lot of debris on track, the Safety Car may be deployed to slow the drivers down while the marshals work.
Before reaching the Safety Car, all drivers must slow down to a minimum delta, like with the Virtual Safety Car. Behind the Safety Car, drivers must not overtake and remain in position. The reduced speeds will reduce brake and tyres temperature quite a bit, so to warm them up to optimum, drivers will often do burnouts and swerve from side to side, like with the formation lap.
Drivers are allowed to make a pit stop under the Safety Car, which can be beneficial for some drivers if the Safety Car is deployed near their strategic pit window since the time loss from the pit stop is drastically reduced.
After all debris is cleared, Race Control will allow all lapped cars to overtake the leader. Shortly after, Race Control will give a signal that the Safety Car is coming in. Drivers will be notified by team radio, and the Safety Car's lights will turn off.
When the Safety Car returns to the pit lane, the leader of the race is given control of the field. The cars behind must wait for the leader to return to racing speed and cross the Start/Finish line before they can continue racing. Once the leader returns to racing speed, the race resumes.
===Virtual Safety Car===
In situations where Race Control wants the cars to slow down but the situation is not severe enough to require a full safety car, the Virtual Safety Car (or VSC) may be deployed. This is typically done for incidents that will not take long to fix, such as a stranded car that stopped near a marshal post or track access point.
During the VSC, drivers are slowed down by 30% using an automated timing system. Drivers can see a VSC time delta on their steering wheels that shows their time relative to the VSC time. The delta is updated every 50 meters. The circuit is divided into many smaller sectors and drivers must be above the VSC delta time (below the maximum speed) at least once per sector.
Like under the Safety Car, drivers are permitted to make pit stops while the VSC is active, provided the pit lane is not closed. However, unlike the Safety Car, drivers do not bunch together during the VSC, nor are lapped cars given the opportunity to overtake the leader.
Once it is safe to return to normal racing conditions, drivers are given a warning that the VSC is ending and shortly after the green flag will be shown and the race will resume. The VSC can be withdrawn at any point on the circuit and after any duration.
==History==
:
The safety car was first used during the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix and was driven by former Canadian race car driver Eppie Wietzes. When the car was first used, it took the incorrect position, placing a car 1 lap down. It took several hours after the race to determine the winner and sort out the confusion. The pace car would not be used again for another two decades.
The safety car was officially introduced during the 1993 season, in the Brazilian Grand Prix and the British Grand Prix.
The Virtual Safety Car was first introduced in in response to Jules Bianchi's fatal accident at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, in which he lost control of his car in wet weather conditions and struck a piece of equipment that was being used to clear the car of Adrian Sutil, who had crash the previous lap.
The VSC was first deployed at the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix when Max Verstappen crashed heavily into the barriers, although it was later changed to the full Safety Car.
