Perez pit lane start confirmed
The Qatar Grand Prix stewards have announced that Sergio Perez, the Red Bull driver, will start from the pit lane. This decision was made because Perez will be using a completely new power unit, which includes various components that exceed the allowed limit as stated in the F1 Sporting Regulations. Red Bull had to perform extensive repairs on Perez’s car following his collision during the Sprint race with Esteban Ocon from Alpine and Nico Hulkenberg from Haas. There is a possibility that Perez will also receive a 10-second penalty, as his team has been reported to the stewards for allegedly having a third car, a similar violation that led to penalties for Logan Sargeant and Williams at the Japanese Grand Prix. Originally, Perez was supposed to start the race from the 13th position at the Lusail International Circuit.
