Sergio Perez received a three-place grid penalty for driving his car in an unsafe condition during the Canadian Grand Prix, following Red Bull’s instruction. After damaging his rear wing and rejoining the track with it hanging off, he retired in the garage, dropping carbon fiber on the track. Red Bull was fined €25,000 for instructing Perez to return to the pits rather than stopping on track. Perez’s penalty will apply at the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks or the next race he competes in. This decision was made due to safety concerns and precedents regarding driving in unsafe conditions. Perez has had two consecutive retirements after starting 16th in Monaco and Canada, not scoring since the Miami Grand Prix.
