Penalised Perez retires after disastrous start to Japanese GP
Following contact with Lewis Hamilton on the first lap, Sergio Perez had a disastrous race which led to an early pit stop for a front wing change. He received a five-second time penalty for a Safety Car infringement during his pit lane entry. Despite fighting his way back, Perez collided with Kevin Magnussen and caused him to spin at Turn 9. This resulted in more damage to Perez’s car and a second pit stop for a nose change. Perez then complained about his car feeling off, and he was instructed to retire on Lap 15. This non-score for Perez makes it easier for his teammate, Max Verstappen, to secure the world championship at the next race in Qatar.
