F1 regulations state: "The safety car shall be used at least until the leader is behind it and all remaining cars are lined up behind him. Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within five car lengths of it.

As long as LH stayed within five car lengths, I don’t think there is anything the officials can say about it.
I think he was just trying to keep is brakes hot. I don’t think he was trying to mess with the drivers behind him.
