Double penalty for Mexican Sergio Perez, Red Bull driver, who extended his contract a week ago with the Austrian team until 2026. Starting 16th in the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, “Checo” made a mistake on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal and, instead of stopping, he then returned to the track to return to the pits. Race officials ruled that his car was “significantly damaged” and that it had “lost numerous carbon fiber parts during its en route to the pits.” »
The driver thus receives a penalty of three places on the starting grid for the next Spanish Grand Prix, on June 23. The Red Bull team is also penalized and will have to pay a fine of 25,000 euros since it was they who asked their driver to go to the pits in order to avoid a safety car.
