Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto believes Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 winner Sergio Perez should receive two separate penalties in his stewards investigation.
Perez won a timed race from pole-sitter Charles Leclerc, but has been called to the stewards for a Safety Car infringement.
It is alleged that he fell more than 10 car lengths behind it when it was deployed - with precedent stating that this is a penalty.
And Binotto believes that Perez should be penalised not once, but twice after two errors.
"He [made it] not one [time] but he made the same mistake twice by dropping [back]. [It is too big a mistake," Binotto told Sky Italy.
"When I get to history, like for example with [Antonio] Giovinazzi he just got a penalty for this, so I feel sorry that Perez didn’t get the penalty during the race.
"I don’t know why a decision was made immediately, maybe they didn’t want to rush the decision and take their time for the decision."
The stewards feel that hearing from Perez at 23:55 local time (16:55 BST) is required before making their ruling.
