I don't really see the problem with the current system. Vettel came out of the Safety Car period with his lead greatly curtailed, so it is he who is punished more, so I see no reason to get the lapped cars out of the way.

I agree. IMO if the leader has managed to build up a big lead over the next driver before SC and hence has managed to get some backmarkers between him and the next driver in the process, it is fully fair that he still has some kind of an advantage by the time of the restart. Button's 9-second gap after the restart was still smaller than what it was before SC.

The one thing I find a bit unfair is that if a driver has just been lapped and is closely following a group of yet unlapped of drivers, he will lose a whole lap to them and any chance of a better position/points/whatever. Like Kobayashi last time at Singapore.
