Sergio Perez unsure why F1 Monaco GP incident was not explored, as he and Kevin Magnussen reflect plus Nico Hulkenberg calls it unnecessary.
After being knocked senseless in Q1, Red Bull’s Perez had the most awful lead to F1 Monaco GP where he could not also translucent the Lap 1. It was a hefty shunt undergoing Turn 2 and Turn 3, when he rammed Haas’ Magnussen and Hulkenberg.
The Dane attempted a step on the beyond the straight. He touched the wall surface and after that additionally Perez that was attempting to obtain onto the auto racing line with Hulkenberg on his left. This brought about a get in touch with in between the Mexican vehicle driver and Magnussen, which additionally captured the German.
There was hefty damages to the auto of Perez complied with by Magnussen, with little much less on Hulkenberg’s side. Speaking regarding the incident, both believed that they really did not offer each various other space or can have managed points in a much better means.
The greatest disadvantage from the side of Perez was the absence of examination for a bigger incident when an additional clash in between the Alpine motorists Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon was explored where the latter was handed a time charge transformed to grid decline.
Hulkenberg described it unnecessary incident where Magnussen was maybe a little bit as well hopeful. He thought auto racing incident was great telephone call however can have gone any kind of means. The accident caused obstacle damages and additionally a professional photographer being struck with particles.
The FIA kept in mind that he was required to the clinical facility and was launched not long after, with a note that‘..but has no open wounds’ Perez, on his social media sites, included: “The crucial point today is that we can all go home.
“It was a very serious and completely unnecessary accident from my point of view. I also hope that every photographer that was in the area is ok. It’s a weekend to learn from and turn around as a team. Preparation for Canada begins now.”
The no examination from the FIA guardians came as an alleviation for Magnussen, that is still with 10 charge factors versus his name and can have been outlawed from Canadian GP if the blame was to find on his shoulders for the Monaco GP incident.
Crash–
Perez: “It’s Lap 1. I lost a position to one of the RBs and obviously it’s lap one, it’s just important if you’re not in the right position, automatically you’re going to end up losing. I was getting out of the corner. 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. To keep it flat out, there was only one way out of it, and it was either contact with my car or with the barrier. There was just simply no room for both cars and at some point, he had to realise that – I mean, I’ve been in that occasion – and many times when you are the car behind you just have to realise that it’s time to back off, before things get closer to you. I’m very surprised the incident was not investigated because of the amount of damage and how dangerous the damage was. I’m really surprised.”
Stewards strategy–
Perez: “I think he clearly shouldn’t be there in the first place because there is just one way to get out of that. It will be just to hit the wall, he either hit the wall or hit my car. The right side of my car. So how does he want me to leave him room if he’s not even alongside? There’s a point where you see the wall is coming to you and you just have to back off. It has happened to me many times and there’s a point where you just have to back off. I’m really surprised. I get 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 me. At some point I think that was some dangerous driving. I don’t think he really thinks about the outcome. You sometimes find yourself in a position and you have to take a very quick decision to say, ‘okay, there’s only one way of it and it’s going to be contact so I’d better back out’ – but he will go for the contact.”
Perez press–
Magnussen: “In my point of view I was there and I got squeezed to the wall. From my point of view I had a good part of my front along Perez’s rear. When he went to the wall, I just got pushed into the wall and made contact with him. I trusted that he was going to leave a space for me since I was there. It’s not a corner that you’re braking into. It’s just like a little bend on the straight so you have to have a car width otherwise you leave the guy no option. He clearly wasn’t leaving space that I thought he would. I had a good part of my front end, my whole front wheel was ahead of his rear wheel. So, I did expect him to be leaving room for one car on his right, especially since he didn’t have anyone on his inside. On his left, there was a completely clear track. So he just squeezed me into the wall. It’s not good to see both cars in one crash. It sucks. It’s a shitty, shitty situation. It’s unfortunate, it’s a lot of cost to the team, a lot of work for the guys and a missed opportunity today of course.”
Unnecessary circumstance–
Hulkenberg: “It’s obviously far from ideal and also both cars out. Obviously I got taken off by an incident that I wasn’t directly involved in. It’s quite narrow here going up to turn three. A big shame. Things were getting too tight there. I think it’s somewhat a racing incident. It looked maybe a bit optimistic from Kevin, but I don’t know, Checo could have also maybe seen him and left room. It was obviously stupid between Kevin and Checo. I don’t know if Checo saw Kevin. Checo could have left space. At the same time, I think Kevin was also very optimistic about staying on there, where the track gets narrower and there are little kinks up to Turn 3. So unfortunate, obviously, the outcome. My car didn’t have too much damage. I didn’t see Kevin’s. But the Red Bull had significant damage. I think that’s a write off. On our side, I don’t know. We’ll see the damage once the cars are back.”
