Perez must fear grid penalty in Australian Grand Prix
- GPblog.com
Sergio Perez will have to come in for an interview with the stewards after qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing driver allegedly did not get off the gas enough during a yellow flag in Q2. A grid penalty of three places is imminent.
Normally, when ignoring a yellow flag, a driver receives a three-place grid penalty. Perez will have to go to the stewards to explain why he did not brake (enough).
There is also a chance that Perez gets no penalty. Then he will have to show that he left his gas sufficiently in the mini-sectors and thus did not cause a safety issue. To be continued, no doubt!
