Sergio Perez admitted surprise that Kevin Magnussen was not penalised for his part in their heavy first-lap Monaco Grand Prix shunt, which caused the Formula 1 race's early red flag.
The Mexican sustained a heavy crash after contact with the Haas driver at Beau Rivage, as Magnussen attempted to thread his car down the inside and found himself rapidly running out of space. This threw Perez into the barrier with considerable damage to his car, exacerbated when he clipped Nico Hulkenberg - who was attempting to clear the wreck.
