Sergio Perez has hit out at the F1 stewards after he was penalised for contact with Lando Norris at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Perez finished second on the track, but dropped to fourth in the final classification due to a five-second time penalty he received. The penalty was given for contact with Lando Norris as Perez attempted to overtake him into Turn 6. Although there was contact, Perez did not gain a lasting advantage as Norris cut the corner and stayed ahead. Perez believes the stewards were poor in their decision-making and that the penalty was unjust, stating that similar incidents have been treated less severely in the past. He defended his move on Norris, stating that as a driver diving from behind, he was not in full control of the car and that Norris knew he was there but still decided to turn in. In Perez’s opinion, it was just a racing incident.
