Hamilton hears verdict from stewards after Perez incident
Perez was furious about the incident. The Red Bull Racing driver, who looked fine in qualifying after a string of disappointing results, expressed his frustrations over the board radio. He therefore could not imagine that no punishment would follow for the Mercedes driver, as he himself has been punished "for lesser things" in the past.
The stewards agreed with Perez's verdict and decided to give a three-place grid penalty to Hamilton.
