Fine for Perez after offence in pit lane

Perez drove 89.8 kilometres per hour in the pit lane, with the speed limit being 80 kilometres per hour. This meant he was driving almost 10 kilometres too fast, which resulted in his Formula 1 team being fined 1,000 euros.

Perez finished the first free practice for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix ahead of teammate Max Verstappen, who struggled with the set-up and expressed his displeasure about it over the team radio. Perez was also ahead of Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Carlos Sainz in FP1.
