With Sainz
“What an idiot!” Perez rages after crash
Huge excitement after the Formula 1 race in Azerbaijan! Sergio Perez rages after the crash with Carlos Sainz at the finish.
It was at the end of the 49th lap: a thrilling three-way battle for second place was coming to a head. Perez got alongside Leclerc on the outside in turn one, but Leclerc counterattacked. Perez loses the pace - so Sainz also passes the Mexican.
"What an idiot!"
But the race is far from over! Because Perez followed suit! Sainz had his nose in front on the straight after turn two. The result: the crash!
"What an idiot!" Perez grumbles on the pit radio. Sainz, meanwhile, asked: "What happened there? I don't get it."
Red Bull Motorsport boss Helmut Marko clarifies, saying on Servus TV: "The way I saw it, Sainz drove into Checo's car with no motivation at all. There was no reason to pull to the left so abruptly."
One thing is certain: Perez had to mourn a podium finish!
