Sergio Perez has been given a formal warning for criticizing the stewards as “a joke” after being penalized in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Mexican driver collided with Lando Norris and received a 5-second time penalty, resulting in him finishing fourth instead of second. Perez expressed his frustration on team radio, calling the stewards “a joke” and stating that their decision was outrageous. The stewards considered his comments as misconduct towards officials but ultimately decided to issue a formal warning instead of further punishment. They acknowledged Perez’s apology and noted that he is not known for making such remarks. Currently, Perez has seven penalty points on his racing license within a 12-month period.
