Reminder that Safety Car exists in Formula 1 : Singapore GP, Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series

In Formula 1 (F1), a "Safety Car" is a vehicle deployed during a race to control the speed of the cars and ensure safety when there's an accident, dangerous track conditions, or debris on the track. The Safety Car leads the race cars at a reduced speed to allow the track to be cleared or repairs to be made without stopping the race completely. Here are the key points about the Safety Car: 1. "Speed Control": It slows down the race to prevent further incidents and gives marshals time to deal with hazards. 2. "Race Neutralization": While the Safety Car is on track, drivers cannot overtake each other, and the gaps between cars are essentially reset. 3. "Deployment": It's deployed by race control and will enter the track in front of the leading car. All drivers must follow behind it. 4. "Restart": Once the track is cleared, the Safety Car exits, and racing resumes, usually with a "rolling start," meaning cars accelerate from the current pace. 5. "Virtual Safety Car (VSC)": In some cases, instead of a physical Safety Car, a Virtual Safety Car is used, where all cars must slow to a specified delta time without a car physically leading them. The Safety Car ensures the safety of drivers, track workers, and marshals during dangerous conditions.
