Sergio Perez has been handed a five-second penalty for colliding with Alex Albon in the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix, but the Red Bull Formula 1 driver will keep his position.
Perez crossed the line in eighth place after appearing to lunge up the inside of theThe pair made contact at the apex and Albon, who was deflected off-line, had to hit the brakes and lock up his tyres to avoid the outside wall.
Both drivers were summoned in front of the FIA race stewards, who reasoned that 11th-placed finisher Albon had attempted to take the normal racing line through the corner and was unaware of the precise location of Perez's RB19. Perez's move up the inside was considered to be an"optimistic late manoeuvre that could be defined as"diving in", and that there was nothing that [Albon] could have done to avoid the collision."
As a result, Perez was found to be predominately to blame and copped a five-second penalty and had a point added to his FIA superlicence.
