Sergio Perez felt Kevin Magnussen deserved a penalty for causing their dramatic first-lap crash in Monaco.
after the pair made contact on the run up the hill to Massenet on the opening lap of Sunday’s race, withPerez was checked over at the medical centre following the violent crash but confirmed he was okay.“If you see my onboard at no point, you see Kevin’s car not even close to me, alongside me, and you could see that the wall is just getting closer and closer and to keep it flat out. There was only one way out of it.
When informed that Magnussen said Perez should have left him more room, the Mexican replied: “I think he clearly shouldn’t be there in first place because there is just one way to get out of that, where it will be just to hit the wall, he either hit the wall or hit my car. Perez said he is “very surprised” the incident did not get investigated and felt Magnussen deserved a penalty.
“I’m really surprised. I think I got the lap one, let them race, but I think this was more dangerous driving just to keep it flat out knowing that they were going to come contact at some point. I think that was some dangerous driving.”
