Perez set to cop double penalty after Red Bull F1 rule breach

Sergio Perez qualified in 13th place for the race, but a crash involving Ocon and Hulkenberg in the sprint race damaged his Red Bull car beyond repair. Red Bull was found to have built a chassis without the FIA’s supervision, which violated the rules. This exceeded the time frame for cars to be ready with FIA seals, and it was considered as building a third car, similar to what Williams did previously. Perez’s car also had a complete new power unit, surpassing his allowed limit for the season. Perez’s penalty is yet to be confirmed, but based on previous cases, further punishment is likely. It was a challenging weekend for Perez, as his retirement in the sprint race resulted in his teammate Verstappen winning the world championship. The specific components and parts listed included the rear brake drum brackets, survival cell components, chassis harness, radiators and associated pipework, suspension assemblies, and various other equipment.
